I doubt there's no notable power draw, NPUs in general have always pulled a handful of watts which should at least about match a modern CPU's idle draw. But it does seem odd that your power usage doesn't change at all, it might be always powered on or something. Eye contact filters seem like a horrible thing, autocorrect won't work better than a dictionary with a tiny model and I doubt these things can come even close to running whisper for decent voice transcription. Background blur alright, but that's kind of stretching it. I always figured Zoom/Teams do these things serverside anyway. And alright, if it's not MS making them do it, then they're just chasing the fad themselves while also shipping subpar hardware. Not sure if that makes it better.
