@mindspillage for a lot of years I used to cover the webcam with a piece of black tape or a small post it, but several month ago I got some webcam cover: it's just a little slider. You may want to look at them.
There are some projects ready to 3D print like this one:

but I never tried to print one.

@sneak I do because I prefer to have control and sometime I'm a bit distracted: sometime when a join an only audio call on jitsi using the browser I just press OK on the dialog to allow microphone and the webcam of my laptop and it starts to stream. So I see the black video stream and I turn off the video sharing.
The effort to put a cover on the laptop webcam is extremely low and cheap so I'm used to do it.

@sneak I know that if my system would be compromised my last problem is being worried about the webcam. 😄

@lxo good point but I mainly use a laptop and although it's not new (it's a T440s) it still works fine and I don't want to open it to physically disable the webcam (it's not so good but works and can be useful), so for me the cover is the way to go! 😄
