In Settings, I am under "Allow desktop apps to access your camera" and I have it switched to On. Beneath that, I have three apps, beginning with Chrome, Skype and Zoom.

My question is, how do I disable any of them, such as Chrome & Skype?

Under "Choose which Microsoft Store Apps can access your camera" and all are switched off apart from Skype. But I do not see Zoom or Chrome in the list anyway.

Help would be appreciated regarding this. Thanks.

Those settings only really apply to UWP applications (those installed via the Microsoft store). Desktop applications may or may not adhere to those privacy settings, so you'd have to disable the access within the application.
