Webcam Test โ€” Is Your Camera Working?

Before a job interview, exam or stream, make sure your hardware actually works. This free webcam test opens your camera and microphone right in the page so you can see your live video, confirm the resolution and frame rate, and check that the microphone picks up sound.

Your browser will ask for camera permission first โ€” click Allow to start. Nothing is recorded, uploaded or stored: the video stream stays on your device and stops the moment you close the tab or hit stop.

Live preview with real specs

See your actual video feed plus the detected resolution and frame rate, so you know exactly what Zoom, Teams or your streaming software will see.

Microphone check included

The audio meter reacts to your voice in real time, confirming your mic is live and set to a usable volume before the call that matters.

Private by design

This test uses your browser's built-in camera API. There is no recording, no screenshot sent anywhere and no server involved โ€” your image never leaves your computer.

How to use

  1. Click Check Webcam.
  2. Allow camera and microphone access when your browser asks.
  3. Review your live video, resolution and mic levels.
  4. Use snapshot, mirror or fullscreen controls as needed, then stop the test.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the site ask for camera permission?

Browsers require your explicit permission before any site can access the camera or microphone. Clicking Allow grants access only to this page, only while it is open.

Is my video recorded or uploaded?

No. The video stream stays entirely on your device. Nothing is recorded, uploaded or stored โ€” close the tab and access ends immediately.

The camera shows a black screen โ€” what now?

First check that no other app (Zoom, Teams, OBS) is using the camera, then verify permission is set to Allow in the browser address-bar icon, and reload the page.

Can I test my microphone too?

Yes. Grant microphone permission when asked and speak โ€” the audio meter will move with your voice, confirming the mic works and is not muted.

Which browsers support this?

All modern browsers โ€” Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari โ€” support the camera API this test uses. The page must be served over HTTPS for the API to work.
