strange facetime icon

When I was on facetime last night, I fell asleep with my bf and woke up to a strange icon instead of his camera/contact. I’ve never seen this before and I’m not sure what it means and can’t find anything about it online. It’s this green icon with an arrow that skips over and over again. Has anyone had this happen or know what it means?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Blue white flashing color on FaceTime I just got a new iPhone SE 2020 and when I’m on FaceTime with people a small circle pops up on anything close to the camera in the FaceTime camera I’m very confused on what it is but it’s like a blue/ white spot that will pop up on anything that gets close to the phone, hasn’t done it on any other app but I’m hoping that no one’s watching me from it lol

FaceTime icon on Apple TV 4K screen can not be disabled When anyone in my house is on a Facetime call I get a small green icon on my ATV4k screen. I can't remove this annoying icon. I have tried to delete the facetime app from my ATV4K which I can not. I turned off notifications and enabled do not disturb for my focus. I have been searching so if anyone knows how to get this icon to stop appearing over my content and even my screen savers then please let me know. If I can't use the ATV4K to watch movies without little icons I will have to stop using the ATV4K. I hope someone cares enough to relate. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Orange blinking microphone icon after FaceTime call!!! So I had a FaceTime call on my work phone and after I ended the call a few minutes later I picked up the phone to put on the charger and I noticed I had an orange microphone icon in the left-hand upper corner blinking I had to turn my phone off to get it to stop blinking But I tapped the icon and it wouldn’t do anything. What is that that made me feel like I was being spied on or some thing and this is my work phone so it’s a business phone for a company a little confused need an answer.

Look for some third-party that you may have installed on your device.
