Webcam tips for better recordings
- →Test your webcam before every product demo or tutorial recording — a quick check prevents a ruined take
- →Good lighting matters more than camera quality — face a window or lamp for a noticeably better image
- →Check your camera angle — slightly above eye level looks more professional than looking up at the camera
- →If your webcam appears blurry, clean the lens and ensure there is enough light in the room

Frequently asked questions
Is the webcam test safe to use?
Yes. The webcam feed is shown locally in your browser and is never transmitted or recorded by our servers. You grant camera access to your browser, not to us.
Why can't my browser access my webcam?
Most webcam access issues are caused by the browser lacking permission. Check your browser's camera permission in settings, or look for the camera icon in your browser's address bar and click 'Allow'.
How do I check if my webcam is working before a meeting?
Open this page, click 'Start camera test', and your webcam feed should appear. If you can see yourself, your camera and browser permission are both working correctly.
My webcam is working in other apps but not here — why?
Another app may have exclusive control over your camera. Close Zoom, Teams, or any other app using your webcam, then refresh this page and try again.
Can I test my webcam quality for screen recordings?
Yes. The webcam test shows you exactly what your camera capture looks like — lighting, angle, and resolution — before you commit to a recording.
