Please also consider how this will work with multiple tabs using camera and/or microphone at the same time.

The old UX handles this fine (still in toolbar if you're on macOS): You get a dropdown listing all tabs by name that are currently accessing the camera/microphone. You click on the name of the tab of interest and you're taken there to inspect its permissions list or revokee with one click.

With the new UX how do I do this (on Windows and Linux)?

Which tab(s) should be muted/unmuted instead? All of them?

That might be a privacy issue. Consider:
1. Im in a whereby.com room in tab A
2. I mute camera and microphone using the new browser UX
3. I open a new tab B and enter a meet.google.com room.
4. I unmute camera and microphone using the new browser UX.

Does it unmute both whereby. com and meet.google.com? Is that the behavior users would expect? Might some users think they're talking to one group and not realize they're actually talking to two?

Quickly locating the tab(s) using camera/mic is useful, especially with 100s of tabs open.

That might be a privacy issue. Consider:
1. I'm in a zoom.us (web-client) room in tab A
2. I mute camera and microphone using the new browser UX
3. I open a new tab B and enter a meet.google.com room.
4. I unmute camera and microphone using the new browser UX.

Does it unmute both zoom.us and meet.google.com? Is that the behavior users would expect? Might some users think they're talking to one group and not realize they're actually talking to two?
