Abstract
A portable information handling system selectively slides a display integrated in a housing relative to the housing to expose and cover a camera integrated in the housing behind the display. For example, upon execution of a videoconferencing application, an actuator slides the display to expose the camera to support a videoconference, and after the videoconference application completes, the display slides to cover the camera, thus providing security against unauthorized viewing through the camera, which is physically blocked from receiving light.
