if youre trying to hide your actions you probably should not be doing them. in all seriousness, things such as the crowdstrike falcon sensor firewall easily log keys, active windows, mouse clicks, AND REPORT YOUR DEVICE for human virtual evaluation if the machine gets suspicious. Dont risk it, get a old mac or cheap chromebook or windows device.

They can see and hear everything.

It would be malpractice to let you use a computer for work that they cannot monitor.

Hear?

If work laptop has a microphone inside, as most do, the employer could turn the microphone on.

Yup. Your work computer is owned by your employer. They can access their device anytime they want. And this is how it should be.

When you take your work laptop home, connect to your guest network not your home network.

Who's "they"? You people really think your lazy ass boss is ordering some IT dweeb to zero in on your laptop and fire up a live audio stream or send him some keystroke report? You realize how batshit insane crazy that sounds? No manager or executive is risking their career to cyber-stalk some peon staffer.

“They” is your employer.

Some of us who WFH and have higher profile jobs know that our employer has the right to access their computer. Whether that be to audit work, force updates, install apps, troubleshoot etc.

If they know work is being done in a home environment, that seems illegal to me. I can see the right to listen in on a work call, but not the right to listen to everything in the home at any time.

Powering it off when not working likely is the best an ordinary person can do.

Never use your work laptop for anything other than work. If you want to google something, use your phone.
