Starting with macOS 10.14 Mojave, Apple has introduced a new security feature that ensures third-party applications work safely with your data. In short, you need to manually grant permission to your apps, so they can work with files on your drive. Normally, third-party applications will ask you to grant specific permissions upon launching. Download CleanMyMac X (a free trial version is available). Go to the Privacy tab. Choose “Application Permissions.”. Check what apps have access to your camera and make changes. Note: This feature is available only on macOS Catalina. Before using your Microphone for Voice Calls, and your Camera for Video Calls, you may have to grant permission for apps to access your Microphone and Camera. This guide will show you how!
