The "Notch" where a webcam is on a computer may obscure menu bar icons. One of the simpler approaches to managing this is to Remove items that are not needed and/or re-arrange those that are there to keep the important ones visible.
Hold Command key:
1. Click and drag the icon out of the menu bar until the Remove option is listed, then release.
2. Click and drag the icon to another location on the menu bar and release to rearrange.
