Consider blacklisting the module at boot and enabling it whenever you need to use the camera.

module fails to build on kernel 7.0, package needs to be updated to 0.7.0.1

I have created a gtk systray applet that can load and unload module with a click of a button. This will helpful anyone to enable webcam only when needed using their status bar's tray.

Give it a try -> https://github.com/Chamal1120/facetimehd-toggle

@xiota Done. @slackinghyena I think one co-maintainer would be enough for now, but I'll keep you in mind if the package ever needs a new maintainer.

EDIT: @xiota I have also added you as a co-maintainer for the packages related to this one.

Happy to be co-maintainer too

Would someone like to co-maintain this package? I'm currently not that active on Arch.

Cannot be built on 6.13+ kernels, but there is a fix available and released as v0.6.13 (GitHub release).
