How to use Webcam test
Start the camera
Press Start camera and allow access when your browser asks. Pick another camera from the list if you have more than one.
Check the details
See the actual resolution, the frame rate the camera reports and the frame rate measured in your browser.
Try settings and save
Ask for 720p, 1080p or 4K, mirror the preview, go full screen, or save a snapshot as a PNG.
Why use Utils365
Real numbers
See the resolution you actually get, not just what the box says, plus frames per second measured as they arrive.
Private
The video is shown on this page only. Nothing is recorded or uploaded, and the camera turns off when you press Stop or leave.
Any camera
Built-in laptop cameras, USB webcams, capture cards and virtual cameras all appear in the list once access is allowed.
Helpful errors
Blocked permission, no camera found and a camera busy in another app each get a clear explanation and a fix.
Frequently asked questions
How do I test my webcam?
Press Start camera and allow access. If you see yourself, the camera works. The details below show its resolution and frame rate.
Why is my webcam not working?
Usually the browser was denied access, another app such as Zoom, Teams or OBS is using the camera, or a privacy shutter or switch is closed. The test shows which problem the browser reports.
What resolution is my webcam?
The Resolution tile shows what the camera is sending, such as 1280 × 720 (720p) or 1920 × 1080 (1080p). Ask for 1080p or 4K to see the most it can do.
What frame rate should a webcam have?
30 fps is standard and smooth for calls. Many webcams drop to 15–20 fps in dim light, so if the measured rate is low, add light in front of you.
Why is my picture mirrored?
Previews are mirrored by default so moving feels natural, as in a mirror. Other people on a call see you the right way round. Untick Mirror to see what they see.
Is the video recorded or sent anywhere?
No. The video goes straight from your camera to this page. Snapshots are only saved when you press the button, and they go to your own downloads.
