    really easy solution. if camera detects pitch black… pop up an error message with an illustration on how they need to move the shutter.

      My current work laptop has a shutter built in which heavily blurs the camera, so it’s relatively obvious why your camera isn’t working but you still get some level of privacy

      that could work, or perhaps have a cut-out on the camera cover that blurs all light going in and has the words written on it “shutter closed” or something. Digital way built into the driver is probably easiest.
