Webcam Test

Preview your webcam and check its resolution and frame rate — nothing is recorded.

Check your webcam works: start it and you'll see a live preview with its resolution and frame rate. The video stays in your browser — nothing is recorded or uploaded.

About Webcam Test

A webcam test checks that your camera works before a video call or stream. Click start and allow camera access to see a live preview, along with the detected camera name, resolution, and measured frame rate. The video is shown in your browser only — nothing is recorded, saved, or uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the browser ask for camera permission?
The test needs live access to your webcam to show the preview. Access stays in your browser — no video is sent anywhere — and stops the moment you click Stop or leave the page.
I see a black screen — what's wrong?
Make sure the right camera is selected, no other app (like a video-call tool) is using it, and the lens cover is open. If permission was blocked, re-enable it in your browser's site settings.
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.
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. Higher values generally mean better quality.
