   That's why there is the mecanical slider there.   
   You cannot hack that ... ;)   
      
   BTW I also have a Pinebook Pro and a Pinephone.   
   Both have physical switches for the camera and Microphone ;)   
   BTW2 do not really use the Pinephone, just bought it out of curiosity.   
   But I use the Pinebook Pro regularly! ;)
