The best thing to use is “Magic Tape” to cover your camera. It adds a frosted window effect while not disturbing your screen’s brightness adjustment feature.

If your computer uses the camera for ambient light sensing instead of a separate sensor, they definitely fucked up building it.

The sensors are usually pretty close to the camera, so the chances of taping over it are relatively high.

tape over it and set your brightness by hand.

Brightness has another option other than maximum? Contrast and black point my lads.

Wait is that what those little holes do???
Landless2029@lemmy.world 3 months ago
There’s usually 3 or 4 holes.
Camera lens, light sensor and microphone.
I did helpdesk during the pandemic and the number of tickets for “poor microphone quality” was insane. Most people used tape or bandaids to cover the camera… And microphone

Yes. Usually you have a brightness and sometimes also a proximity sensor. Proximity is usually used for phones so they can deactivate the screen if you hold the phone like an actual phone against your ear.

I have had one like that in a while but some cheap models did. Looking at you Toshiba Satellite.

Several smartphones do this too.
