What is the Webcam Test?
Before a job interview, an online exam or an important meeting, you want to know your camera works. This webcam test opens your camera in the browser, shows the live picture and reports the real resolution, aspect ratio and frame rate your camera is delivering, so you can spot a blurry lens, a dark picture, a wrong camera or a low-resolution feed.
You can choose between several cameras, request HD, Full HD or 4K, mirror the preview like a bathroom mirror and save snapshots. The video is processed only inside your browser — nothing is recorded, uploaded or stored — and the camera turns off the moment you press Stop or close the page.

Questions people ask
Why is my webcam not working?
The most common causes are a blocked browser permission, another app already using the camera, a closed privacy shutter, or a missing driver. The messages on this page tell you which one it is.
Is my video recorded or uploaded?
No. The picture stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers, and snapshots are saved only if you click Save.
Why does the resolution differ from my camera's box?
Browsers and apps request a size; the camera delivers the closest mode it supports. USB bandwidth and low light can also lower it.
Can I test an external or USB webcam?
Yes. Plug it in, click Start and choose it from the camera list.
Does this work on a phone?
Yes, on modern mobile browsers over HTTPS. You can usually switch between front and rear cameras.
