If my webcam light ever flickered on and then off, I'm chucking my laptop off the side of a bridge. Willing to be most other people wouldn't attribute it to a hardware fault, either.

You could just cover it with a post-it instead of chucking it off a bridge.

The thing that bugs me is there’s no indication an app is connected to my microphone.

Thing is, at that point I'd be worried about the mic as well, as you point out.

Better safe than sorry!
