Answer: Turn on your camera in the browser to check the feed, resolution and frame rate — the video never leaves your device.
Check your camera with a live preview — nothing is uploaded
🔒 Your video stream stays entirely on this device. Nothing is recorded or uploaded.
Results depend on your device and environment — run the webcam test — check your camera online a few times and treat the median as your true figure rather than any single reading.
Enter your values in the input fields and the result updates instantly — no signup or download required. The Webcam Test — Check Your Camera Online runs entirely in your browser.
This tool requests access to your camera using the browser's built-in getUserMedia API and shows the live feed so you can confirm the picture works before a call. It reads the actual stream settings — resolution, frame rate and aspect ratio — so you see what your video-conferencing app will actually receive, not what the camera box claims.
Privacy is simple here: the video stream is rendered locally in your browser and never sent anywhere. Closing the page or pressing Stop releases the camera immediately — the browser indicator (usually a dot or camera icon near the tab) disappears when the stream is fully released.
Permission denied means the browser blocked camera access. Click the lock or camera icon in your address bar, set Camera to "Allow", and reload. On Windows, also check Settings → Privacy → Camera; on macOS, System Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera must allow your browser.
"No camera found" usually means another app (Zoom, Teams, OBS) is holding the device exclusively, or a laptop privacy shutter is closed, or an external USB camera is unplugged. Unplug and replug USB cameras, close other video apps, and try again. A black image with no error is most often a physical privacy shutter or slider over the lens.
