About Webcam Test

The Webcam Test confirms your camera works before the meeting starts. Click start, allow camera access, and a live preview appears along with the facts that matter: the actual resolution the camera delivers, the aspect ratio, the live frame rate and the device name reported by your system.

If you have several cameras — a laptop’s built-in one plus an external USB webcam — a device picker lets you switch between them and verify each. A mirror toggle flips the preview horizontally, and a snapshot button captures a still frame that you can download to judge sharpness and color.

Privacy is absolute: the video stream stays on your device. Nothing is recorded, stored or uploaded — the preview and snapshots are rendered locally in your browser, and stopping the test releases the camera immediately.

How to use Webcam Test

  1. Click “Start webcam test” and allow camera access when the browser asks.
  2. Check the live preview and the reported resolution, aspect ratio and frame rate.
  3. Switch cameras with the device picker if you have more than one.
  4. Toggle “Mirror image” to view the preview the way others see you or the way a mirror shows you.
  5. Take a snapshot and download it to inspect sharpness and color.
  6. Click Stop to end the test and release the camera.

Frequently asked questions

No. The stream goes straight from the camera to the preview element in your browser. Nothing is recorded, stored or transmitted, and snapshots are rendered locally — the download comes from your own device.

You previously denied permission for this site. Open your browser’s site settings (usually the padlock icon in the address bar), set Camera to Allow, then reload the page and start the test again.

Browsers negotiate a resolution based on lighting, USB bandwidth and performance, and marketing specs often refer to still photos rather than video. The value shown here is the real video resolution the camera is currently delivering.

Most apps mirror your self-view because a mirror image feels natural, but other participants see you un-mirrored. Use the mirror toggle to compare both orientations — the camera itself is fine either way.

Usually not on Windows, where one app locks the camera exclusively. Close video-call apps and browser tabs that might hold the camera, then restart the test.

Yes, it is free and requires no account, download or installation — just a browser with camera permission.
