ever since I’ve updated my iPhone to iOS 13 I’ve been having trouble with FaceTime. Every time I FaceTime somebody and flip the camera around this (see below) pops up and on the other persons screen it’s paused. I have shut down all my apps, and nothing is using my camera that shouldn’t be so what’s going on? It’s ever so annoying is this a bug? Or any ideas how I can fix it? Thanks in advance.
iPhone XS Max, iOS 13

No. It is Not a Bug — Disable the Camera:
Just disable the camera (turn if off), like I do, when there is no need to use it.
Enable it when you have a need to use it (i.e. using FaceTime)
So, to disable the camera, Go Here:
Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Recreations > Allowed Apps > Tap Camera, so that it is always grey in-color.
Tap it back to Green, to enable it, when there is a need for it.
Screenshot: Camera Off
I have no apps open all closed and it’s still happening.
Try to restart your device, and see if that helps.
Camera is being used by another application.
