Camera always shows as active on M1 MacBook Pro #7

My camera is always shown as being on even when I freshly boot into macOS and nothing can be using it. I'm on a completely fresh install on my new MacBook. As a result notifications are not always sent when the camera actually becomes active.

Microphone alerts are working fine

Sorry this is a bug in macOS :(
Apple broke something on Big Sur, on M1.

...it has been reported to Apple, so awaiting on them to fix it (but working on a workaround in the meantime).

fixed via a workaround, in version 2.0+
