WebCamTest is a free online webcam and camera tester that runs entirely in your browser. It uses the standard WebRTC camera API to show a live preview, report your camera's resolution and frame rate, flip the view between mirror and normal, switch between connected cameras and save PNG snapshots. No video is uploaded, recorded or stored, and no account or software is needed.
Compare lighting, focus and color before a meeting, an interview or a stream.
See whether your camera really delivers 720p, 1080p or 4K, and how many frames per second.
Mirror view feels like a mirror. Normal view is how others see you on a call.
Switch between the built-in webcam, an external USB camera, or the front and back camera on a phone.
Usually the camera permission is blocked, or another app such as Zoom, Teams, Skype or OBS is already using the camera. Allow camera access for this site, close other apps that use the camera, reconnect the webcam and press Start Camera again. Also check for a privacy shutter or a keyboard camera switch, and make sure your browser is allowed to use the camera in Windows or macOS privacy settings.

Start the camera and read the Technical specs panel. It shows the width and height in pixels, a quality label such as HD 720p or Full HD 1080p, and the frame rate. Use the requested resolution menu to see whether your camera accepts a higher setting.
Mirror view flips the picture horizontally, like a mirror, which feels natural when you look at yourself. Normal view shows the unflipped image, the way people on the other end of a call see you. Use the Mirror View button to switch.
