How to allow only Skype to access the webcam, KIS 2019

Can someone please help me with the webcam settings on kaspersky IS 2019, as I seem to be going round in circles?  I am trying to allow Skype access to the webcam, but I only want skype to have access, not any of the other apps.  I followed the instructions in this forum which directed me here:  

https://help.kaspersky.com/KIS/2019/en-US/82864.htm

but the last part requires me to disable the “Block access to webcam for all applications” function.

Doesn’t this now allow all the apps access to the webcam?  I still want all other apps to be unable to access the webcam, I only want Skype to be able to use it.

How do I allow only Skype to be able to use the webcam?

Thanks in advance for the help

@hammysg1 Welcome.

Please go to : Settings > Protection >  Firewall > Configure application rules > 
Select [App] >  Details and rules > Rights (TAB) >  Access Webcam : select [Deny]

e.g. screenshot below under KSCloud 2020

Thank you for that but it seems a very long-winded way around my problem.  Do I have to highlight each and every app in the list except Skype and click deny for each one?  That would take me some time.  Isn’t there any way to tell Kaspersky to allow only Skype to have access, rather than me having to tell it not to allow access for all the other apps?

I would try this:

 

Edit general Trusted group rights and set them all to Block → WebCam, then go to Skype specific rights and set it as Allow :)
