After you allow a website or app to use your camera or microphone, that permission usually stays in place until you remove it.
How to tell what's active
On Windows, a camera light or notification appears when the camera is in use, and a microphone icon shows in the taskbar when an app is listening.
Where to review
- Windows Settings, Privacy and security: camera and microphone, listed by app.
- Your browser's site permissions: every website you've ever allowed.
- Teams, Zoom and any meeting tools: check which devices they default to.
Remove access from anything you no longer use or don't recognise.
Across the practice
With Intune, these permissions can be managed centrally, so a rogue browser extension can't quietly keep the microphone. We can review camera and microphone permissions across your company computers and remove what's no longer needed.
