Previous macOS versions allowed you to control what apps can access your location, contacts, photos, calendar and reminders. macOS Mojave adds the ability to control what apps can access your camera and microphone.

So the 1st time Chrome, Slack or Zoom will try to access your camera or microphone you will get a prompt from macOS:

The prompt will not show for some Apple apps like Safari, FaceTime, Photo Booth and even Safari Technology Preview as they're allowed by default. QuickTime on the other hand will trigger the macOS prompts for camera & mic access.

The answer to the prompt is persistent and the app will be listed in
System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Camera .

Apps with access to the camera will have a check mark in the above list. You can revoke access by unchecking the app you want to revoke access to. There's a separate list for apps which have requested microphone access.

macOS will only prompt you once for each app. It will not prompt you again about apps in the list. If you want to change the permission for these apps, you will have to do it from the list above.
