You need to configure macOS to allow each app access to the Camera and Mic. See these Apple articles for details:

Control access to the camera on Mac - Apple Support


Control access to the microphone on Mac - Apple Support


If this does not work, then it may indicate you have some third party software installed which may be interfering with the normal operation of macOS. Typical culprits are anti-virus apps, cleaning apps, and third party security software ... none of which are needed on a Mac.
