You can ask someone to turn it off.

Its often seen as an imposition to do so, so it depends on how the power structure runs if someone is comfortable asking

		You can still ask. If you're too afraid to even do that, then the alternative is to be guarded during the conversation. But you can choose which path to take.

Yes I do this constantly? It has never been an issue.

Yeah, if they refuse then that is also a signal about how much they truly value you (and not an insignificant one either).
