Browser camera permission required
Test your webcam privately
The practical guide
Inspect the camera stream your browser actually provides.
Permission is requested only after you start the test. Available labels and settings appear when the browser exposes them.
Switch cameras
After permission, compatible browsers can list available front, rear, built-in, or connected cameras.
Keep snapshots local
Snapshots are generated from the live video element and downloaded only when you choose.
Privacy by architecture
Your live camera preview stays in your browser.
Camera video and snapshots are not uploaded to any server. Camera tracks are stopped when you stop the test or leave the page.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Is my camera video uploaded?
No. The live preview is handled by your browser and is not uploaded to any server.
Why can't the browser find my camera?
Permission may be denied, no device may be connected, or another application may already be using it.
Why is resolution lower than expected?
Browsers negotiate settings based on the camera, connection, requested constraints, and device performance.
Can I switch cameras?
Yes when the browser reports more than one camera after permission.
