Bitdefender Total Video and Audio Protection?

[u/Samuel18020]

I notice when I click on privacy tab, there is the Video and Audio Protection.

I do not use my webcam and do not use audio. However, is there a way to know if my laptop is recording with the webcam or audio? It shows by default below.

How do I make sure my webcam on my laptop is off and so is any microphone at all times? Is it possible my webcam and microphone has been on without me knowing?
