i am a strong proponent of entirely removing both microphones and cameras in all
computing devices. even with a hardware switch, you can't know it's actually
disabled, whereas when you remove the mics and cameras, you can be confident
they are disabled.
this can be done to pretty much any laptop, but it may void your warranty, so if
you care about that kind of stuff, keep that in mind. it typically takes 1-2
hours to disassemble and reassemble a laptop when doing this.
It doesn't void your warranty unless you damage something, the "warranty
void if removed" stickers have no legal backing in most countries due to
1970's automobile repair laws in regards to the "authorized repair
center" bullshit.
It takes around 10 minutes for every laptop I have done it on, certainly
not hours and hours.
