Use Control Centre on Mac
Control Centre on Mac gives you quick access to key macOS settings — such as AirDrop, Wi-Fi or Focus — and indicates when your Mac is using your camera, microphone or location. You can customise Control Centre to add other items, such as accessibility shortcuts, battery status or fast user switching.
An orange dot 
next to the Control Centre icon 
in the menu bar indicates the microphone on your Mac is in use; a blue dot 
(macOS 13.3 or later) indicates your location is in use. When you open Control Centre, the top of the window contains a field that shows which apps are using them. You can click that field to open the Privacy window, which may have additional information (macOS 13.3 or later). See Allow apps to detect the location of your Mac.
