Practical guide

How to check whether a webcam is working

A browser webcam test is a fast way to confirm that the operating system, permission settings and camera can deliver live video to a website. It is especially useful before a meeting or when comparing a built-in camera with an external webcam.

For a more reliable result

Grant camera permission only when you intentionally start the test.
If the page offers multiple devices, choose the camera you actually want to inspect.
Check exposure, focus and motion in typical room lighting instead of judging from a single still frame.
Close other video apps if the browser says the camera is busy or unavailable.

What this test cannot confirm

The live preview remains a functional check rather than a laboratory image-quality benchmark. Resolution, frame rate, compression and processing can be influenced by the browser and operating system.
