Access to camera

[MSBrigitte]

I want to give Duolingo access to my microphone but not my camera, but a window always pops up during the exercises using the microphone, asking me to give access to my microphone AND camera. It looks like it is both or nothing. Why? Please help.

I wanted to open my microphone in settings without having my camera on (weird fear of being spied on), but it seemed that I was only given the choice to have them both on or both offI I found a simple solution. The simple way is to put tape in front of camera.
