FAQs

Is my webcam feed uploaded or recorded?

No. The live feed stays in your browser and this tool neither uploads nor records it.

Why does the tool need camera permission?

Browsers require your explicit permission before a page can open a camera stream.

Why are camera names hidden before permission?

Browsers limit device labels before permission to protect privacy and reduce device fingerprinting.

What can I do if the camera is busy or denied?

Close other camera apps, review the site permission, reconnect the device, then start the test again.

Which camera details can the browser report?

The page shows active video dimensions, aspect ratio, camera label, and track-reported frame rate when available.
