Camera and microphone were denied access

Applications are designed to get the permission of the users to grant access to the device's camera and microphone. In the first use of Google Meet, the application will ask for your permission to access your device's camera and microphone. If you are not able to grant permission, your camera and microphone will not work properly during meetings.
