The icon looks like a little grey house with a circle inside.

Open the "Privacy" tab
Find "Screen Recording" and make sure the checkbox for Google Chrome is checked. You might also have access to Webcam and Microphone settings which can be enabled as well.
NOTE: Your MacBook/Google will always alert you if the camera or microphone is turned on -- a green light displays next to the camera. This security feature is hard-wired into the camera, so you always know if the mic or camera is on when the little green light appears.
