Careful!
It's just as easy to make a faux off switch that actually just triggers it to disable itself in software. The switch needs to actually cut ALL power going to the camera hardware.
I remember some webcams having LEDs that were controlled in software so hackers were able to turn the LED off in code while still recording with the camera the entire time.
For now, I will still have my physical webcam cover on because hackers can't stop it from working without physical access to my machine.
That said, there isn't much interesting to watch if you really wanted a live feed of my webcam (other than frustrated looks on my face while I'm debugging the work issue du jour).
