Review one site in Android Chrome

At the site, tap the information control beside the address, then Permissions. Select the feature to review. Broader controls are under Chrome Settings > Site settings. Google: Android Chrome site permission controls

Review camera and microphone entries in desktop Chrome

In Site settings, choose Camera or Microphone and review the allowed and blocked lists. Google documents removing an existing exception. Device-level permission and administrator policy can also affect access. Google: camera, microphone and managed-browser limits

Review the saved Firefox decision

Open the permissions icon beside the site address. Mozilla documents using the X beside the saved camera or microphone status to clear it and ask again. A continuing block is a separate choice in the permission controls. Mozilla: site camera and microphone permissions
