How Our Camera Test Works

What We Test
Our online camera tester checks multiple aspects of your webcam:
- Video feed — Is your camera sending a clear signal?
- Resolution — Are you getting 720p, 1080p, or 4K?
- Frame rate (FPS) — Is your video smooth (30 fps) or choppy?
- Lighting & exposure — Is your face clearly visible?
- Audio sync — Does your microphone work alongside video?
- Background detection — Preview what your background looks like

Camera Test Before Zoom, Teams, Meet & Skype
Each video platform has its own quirks. A camera that works in Chrome might not work in the Zoom desktop app. Here's our recommended testing sequence:
- Test on our site — confirms your camera hardware and browser permissions work
- Test in the app you'll use — Zoom, Teams, Meet, or Skype all have built-in test features
- Check your background — clean up anything you don't want colleagues to see
- Check your lighting — face a window or lamp, not away from it
