Hello Mousemom5,


When an app requests permission to use the camera or microphone it should show in the Security and Privacy settings to give permission. Have you been able to go through the Zoom procedures to make a test call to see if that will allow the app to appear in settings? Here's a link to their support page, just in case: My microphone isn't working in Teams - Microsoft Support


Also check the Screen Time settings to see if any restrictions are in place that could affect access to the camera and/or microphone. Here's more on Screen Time and how to check: Use Screen Time on your Mac - Apple Support


Let us know how it goes.


Take care!
