Camera & Mic Test
Test your webcam and microphone right in the browser.
How to use
- Click "Start camera" and choose "Allow" in the browser permission prompt to see your live local feed.
- Click "Start microphone" and speak at a normal volume — the level bar and percentage should react.
- The two devices are tested independently, so you can check either one alone. Press "Stop" when done to release the devices.
- If startup fails, follow the on-screen hints about browser permissions, device availability and OS privacy settings.
- A quick check here before a video call confirms both devices work — the feed and audio never leave your device.
FAQ
Why doesn't the browser show a permission prompt?
Three common causes: the site was previously set to "Block forever" — restore it via the permission icon in the address bar or the browser's site settings; the page is not served over HTTPS (or localhost), so the browser blocks it outright; or camera/mic access is disabled for the entire browser at the OS level.
The mic is on but the level bar doesn't move?
First make sure nothing is muted: check the system input device and volume, and confirm the browser is allowed to use the microphone you are actually speaking into. Laptop users should look for a physical mic switch. If several microphones exist, switch the default device in system settings and test again.
Is my video or audio saved or uploaded?
No. The video stream plays through a local video element and the mic data is only used to compute a level inside the browser. This site has no recording, storage or upload logic at all, and the streams stop the moment you close the page.
Can I test on a phone?
Yes. Modern mobile browsers support getUserMedia and will ask for permission the first time; some devices require you to separately allow microphone access for the browser in system settings. The front camera is usually opened as the default device.
