Frequently asked questions
Is my video recorded or uploaded?
No — the preview runs entirely in your browser and nothing is recorded or sent to a server.
Why can't it see my camera?
Make sure you allowed camera permission, that no other app (Zoom, Teams, etc.) is using the camera, and that you're on a secure (https) connection.
Can I test a specific camera?
It uses your default camera. Switch your system's default camera, then reload and start again to test another one.
