Frequently Asked Questions

Is my webcam video sent to any server?
No. The webcam stream is accessed entirely within your browser using the MediaDevices API. No video data is uploaded, recorded, or transmitted anywhere.
Why does my browser ask for camera permission?
Browsers require explicit user permission before any website can access your camera or microphone. This is a security feature enforced by all modern browsers.
My webcam is not showing up — what should I do?
Check that no other application (Zoom, Teams, etc.) is currently using the camera. Ensure your browser has camera permission in your OS settings, and try refreshing the page.

About Webcam Tester

The Webcam Tester on Utilko lets you verify that your camera is working correctly without installing any software or plugins. Using the browser's built-in MediaDevices API, it requests access to your webcam and streams a live preview directly on the page — all processing stays on your device.

Beyond a simple live view, the tool surfaces technical details about your camera: resolution, frame rate, and device label. This makes it useful not just for a quick sanity check before a video call, but also for developers testing camera integration in web applications and diagnosing permission or driver issues on a new device.
