A privacy shutter selectively covers and exposes a camera lens on a computer device. The privacy shutter has a frame with an aperture and a slider carried by the frame and slidable in the aperture. The slider slides between open and closed positions. The frame has a channel in an outer side of the frame and extending from the aperture to a perimeter of the frame. The channel has an outer opening and an inner cavity slidably receiving the slider therein. The outer opening of the channel exposes the outer surface of the slider in both the closed and opened positions.
