Webcam Test

About Webcam Test

A webcam test checks that your camera works before a video call, meeting, or stream. Click start and allow camera access to see a live preview, along with the detected camera name, resolution, and measured frame rate (FPS). It's the quick way to test your camera in the browser before Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet. The video is shown in your browser only — nothing is recorded, saved, or uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I test my camera before a video call?

Click start and allow camera access. If you see yourself in the live preview, your webcam is working and ready for Zoom, Teams, Meet, or streaming. The panel also shows the camera name, resolution, and frame rate so you can check the quality.

I see a black screen — what's wrong?

Make sure the right camera is selected, no other app (like a video-call tool) is already using it, and the lens cover is open. If permission was blocked, re-enable it in your browser's site settings, then reload and try again.

Is my video recorded or uploaded?

No. The preview runs entirely in your browser and nothing is captured or transmitted — the tool only displays the live camera feed and reads its resolution and FPS.

What do resolution and FPS mean?

Resolution is the image size your camera provides (like 1280×720), and FPS is frames per second — how smooth the video is. 30 FPS is a comfortable minimum for video calls; higher resolution and FPS generally mean better quality.
