There is no harm in rechecking it.

If you have given permission to an app to open Camera, deselect it.

Control which apps can use the camera

As an added security measure, you can control which apps have access to the built-in camera. Before any app can use your camera in macOS Mojave or later, you must first give it permission. To see which apps have permission to use your camera and to revoke or grant app access, learn how to control access to the camera on your Mac in System Preferences.
