Here’s a step by step guide: to deactivate mic.
Press the menu button on your remote and access the Settings menu
Scroll to Smart Features and press select
Then scroll down until you reach Voice Recognition and disable that setting
Voila! Your TV can no longer listen in on your conversations — intentionally or accidentally. Of course, this will disable all of your voice control functionality, but truth be told, it doesn’t work very well on many models anyway.

That is from c.a.'s post above. I had a look at my son's huge, curved Samsung tv and I can't see a camera located in the top middle of the screen which is black. I assumed that would be where its located but not sure. Anyway, unplugging it would do the job I suppose.

I was more concerned when we got a Smart TV about the radiation from the Wifi. I found that it always emits wireless signals until you unplug the AC cable! The ethernet cable and spoofing a static IP address didn't help. This is a curved Samsung Smart TV. I'm not aware of a camera on ours, and I've always assumed that "the walls have ears" so I don't really say much more than I would normally say.
If the person is brave and doesn't mind voiding their warranty, there are videos showing how to take apart the back and disconnect or remove the wireless transmitter.
Very helpful. I'm working on getting wi fi out of my grandkids bedrooms and unplugging the AC cable sounds easy enough for lazy people. Whats the AC cable?
duh.
