    Same issue has troubled me a lot during the online exams.

    1. Go to Settings ---> Bluetooth & Devices ---> Mobile devices ---> Check if you've given permission to your PC to access your mobile devices; if this setting is ON then under mobile devices click Manage devices.
    2. Once "Manage mobile devices" tab is open; locate your device under "My devices" which is being used as virtual camera and switch off permission for your PC to use the mobile device's camera.

    Hope this helps.
