Use Control Center on Mac
Control Center on Mac gives you quick access to key macOS settings—such as AirDrop, Wi-Fi, or Focus. You can customize Control Center to add other items, such as accessibility shortcuts, battery status, or fast user switching.
Privacy indicators, which can be dots or arrows, are located to the right of Control Center. An orange dot 
next to the Control Center icon 
in the menu bar indicates the microphone on your Mac is in use; a green dot 
indicates a camera is in use; a purple dot 
indicates the system audio is being recorded; and an arrow 
indicates your location is in use. Only one privacy indicator dot is shown at a time. For example, if both the microphone and a camera are in use, you see only a green dot.
When you open Control Center, the top of the window may contain a field that shows which apps are using your microphone, location, camera, or system audio. You can click that field to open the Privacy window, which may have additional information (macOS 13.3 or later).
