Lenovo webcam light stays on after bootup

I replaced the Windows 10 OS I previously had on my Lenovo Ideapad laptop with Xubuntu.

A feature of Lenovo laptops is that during boot-time the webcam gets activated for a few seconds (you can tell by the LED light). After installing Xubuntu however the LED light remains on all the time.

The temporary solution I found is disabling the webcam, however I wonder if there is a better solution which would allow me to use the webcam when needed.
