How do I change the red dot to a green dot

I see a red dot next to the battery which use to be green. Is the indicating someone is recording my screen and using my microphone. Or is it only when Im on a call

It changes color based on what is being done. It's usually orange when it is just using your microphone and green when using your camera. It's there to let you know when something is using one of these so you know if those are being used when you don't want them to be.
