What is this tool?
Webcam Test shows exactly what your camera delivers before you join a call: a live preview (mirrored like a selfie view), the camera's name, and the real resolution and frame rate the browser negotiated. A snapshot button saves a full-resolution PNG test image. The video stream stays entirely inside your browser — nothing is recorded or transmitted.
Common uses
- Checking framing and lighting before a video call
- Verifying an external webcam is recognized and used
- Confirming the camera really delivers its advertised resolution
- Taking a quick test photo with the webcam
FAQ
Why is the preview mirrored?
The preview is flipped like a mirror because that feels natural for adjusting yourself. Snapshots are saved unmirrored, as others see you.
The image stays black — what can I do?
Make sure no other app is using the camera, check for a physical privacy shutter, and confirm the browser has camera permission.
Is the video recorded or uploaded?
No, the stream is only shown in your browser. Nothing is recorded, stored or sent anywhere.
Why is the resolution lower than my camera's maximum?
Browsers negotiate a resolution based on lighting, load and driver settings. The tool requests full HD but shows whatever the camera actually delivers.
