Hi.

Would it be possible to add an option to display a microphone icon whenever the microphone is in use?

This would help me much more than just getting the event notifications, as I might overlook them or forget about them after a while. Being able to look up at the microphone icon would be a very similar experience to the integrated green webcam LED that most macs have.

I think think is for more than just "overlook or forget about [the notification]", but you might simply not see them (e.g. might not be looking at your screen when it happens), in which case Oversight doesn't really help.
