I have the advantage of a separate office but one reason I'm basically never in my office, much less even on a video muted call, unless appropriately dressed. (To be clear this needn't mean dressed up but at least T-shirt and gym shorts.) Too easy to hit a wrong button or otherwise have something on that you think is off.

Physical camera cover; even if it's a piece of electrical tape.
A lot of detached webcams come with flip down privacy guards.
I think the newer Logitech ones do; I have an older one. I think my point still stands though. You can make a mistake. Of course if your computer is looking at your bedroom, not much you can do other than be careful about your camera not being on and/or privacy shield down.
