About WebcamTest

Advanced online webcam testing platform for all devices and cameras

What is WebcamTest?

WebcamTest provides a simple online camera test that allows you to check if your webcam is working properly. Since it's a browser webcam test, you don't have to download or install any third-party software. Moreover, even if it may seem too simple, WebcamTest will test your camera regardless of its type or the device and operating system you are using.

And to surprise you even more, this webcam test will display a lot of useful information about your camera (for example, its name, video resolution, frame rate, aspect ratio, auto focus capabilities, as well as device specifications). In addition, if the tester detects any problems with your webcam, you will receive tips on how to fix them.
