   Here, we can change the settings for the camera and microphone section

   .

   The icon for this setting is blue, meaning that this option is activated. It says here, "Camera or microphone: Ask before accessing camera and microphone (recommended)." This is the recommended option. It means that when a website wants to access our camera or microphone, it has to ask for our permission.

    Let's turn this option off, and block all access to our camera and microphone

    .

    If we press down on this icon, it will turn gray, and it will say "Blocked" underneath. This is blocking all access to our camera and microphone. Some websites do have the ability to turn on our camera or microphone without getting our explicit permission.
