Most MacBooks are also designed so the camera “on” light is impossible to disable in software.

- brimble 5y agoSome hardware up there must be active and sending data even when the light's not on. It's how they make the (excellent, can hardly live without it now that I'm used to it) automatic monitor color temp adjustment work, AFAIK. Though maybe that's a separate sensor from the camera proper.
- AnonC 5y agoThat’s certainly a different sensor, called the ambient light sensor.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoThe camera and microphones are run through the T2 security chip. Also, there's a separate ambient light sensor.
