Just a reminder - if your laptop has a physical cover for the camera, you might have forgotten to close it the last time you used it.
It only takes a second to check it - do that now while you're thinking about it!
If your laptop camera doesn't have a physical cover, a Post-It flag or something similar is an easy and effective way to block it - and you can tell at a glance whether or not it's in place.
