Test your webcam in seconds
Live preview, real resolution readout. Nothing recorded, nothing leaves this tab.
Click start and allow camera access — your live preview appears below.
Check the camera before the call does it for you
A webcam test site is an odd act of trust — you point your camera at a page and hope it only shows the feed back to you. Here that is structurally guaranteed: the stream feeds a local video element, no recording API is loaded, and there is no server in the loop. Beyond "does it work", the readout answers the questions that matter: is the browser using the right camera, is it actually capturing at the promised resolution, is the frame rate meeting-grade.

Frequently asked questions
How do I test my webcam?
Click Start and allow camera access — your live preview appears immediately, with the device name, resolution and frame rate underneath. If it works here, it will work in your meeting app.
The preview is black or the camera won’t start. What now?
Usual suspects in order: another app (Zoom, Teams, OBS) is holding the camera — close it and retry; the browser picked the wrong device — check the address-bar camera icon; a laptop privacy shutter or keyboard toggle is off. On Windows, also check Settings → Privacy → Camera.
Is my video recorded or sent anywhere?
No. The stream goes from your camera into a video element in this tab and nowhere else — no recording, no screenshots, no server, no WebRTC peers. Press Stop and the camera light goes off.
Why does the preview look mirrored?
Self-views are mirrored on purpose — it matches what you see in a mirror, so adjusting your position feels natural. The people on your call see you un-mirrored.
What resolution is my webcam actually giving?
The info line under the preview shows the real capture resolution and frame rate the browser negotiated — useful for checking whether you are actually getting the 1080p your camera promises.
