Samsung phones have a camera access and microphone access toggle.

Here's what I get when I turn it off:

``` Turn off Camera access? All apps will be blocked from using the camera. Apps will still work, but they will only be able to access an empty black screen. For example, you can still make and receive video calls, but the other person won't be able to see you. ```



For microphone access:

```Turn off Microphone access? All apps will be blocked from using the microphone Apps will still work, but they won't be able to access any sounds from the microphone. For example, you can still make and receive calls, but the other person won't be able to hear you.```


All apps seems like not very useful


It's not ideal, per app would be preferable, but at least global can be a toggle in the global quick settings UI.
