It's not frequent, but the desired number of times is 0 :)

There's been a few times that my camera has activated in a meeting, and shown a black screen because of the cover.

My Lenovo Ubuntu machine has cover built into the casing, which seems ideal. For my Macbook, I use a thin (<.1mm) plastic sliding cover.

It doesn’t matter how often this happens, it matters that it can happen. It is much nicer to have a cover and not worry, then to always remember “did I remember to deactivate the camera?”

Software is hard to use and randomly changes every time a stupid designer decides to shuffle the UI for no reason. So yes it happens.
