You can control which sites are allowed to use the mic and camera.

You can use Google Chrome to control which websites have access to your webcam and microphone.

If you want to block a website from accessing your mic or camera, or if you want to allow a website to access them, you can do so under Chromes settings menu.

Open Chrome and select the Chrome menu, represented by three vertical dots in the top-right corner.

On Windows, press AltF or AltE, or F10 followed by the Spacebar.

Under the Privacy and security section, select Site settings.

If you have multiple microphones or cameras you can choose which one to use as the default device for chrome.

To block all access all the time, toggle the Ask before accessing option to off.

You can manually change camera and microphone access for individual websites.

This will force the site to ask you for access the next time it needs to.

If you havent given explicit allow or block access, select the lock icon next to the URL at the top of Chrome, and select Site settings.

If you remove a website from the block list, it doesnt move it to the allow list and vice versa.

Instead, deleting a website from Chromes list of blocked sites lets you choose to Allow or Block permission the next time the site requests access to either your camera or mic.

In contrast, if the site is on the list of blocked sites for the camera and you try to use your camera, you wont be asked to use it.

Deleting a site there does not move it into the list of blocked sites.

Having it in the Allow section will grant permission without asking each time.
