Check that your camera works before your next call or recording. See yourself live, confirm the resolution and frame rate, and switch between cameras — right here in your browser.
Your browser will ask for permission — that prompt is the first thing this test checks.
Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
Chairkick records your screen with your camera in the corner — straight from the browser, no download, free to start. Share a link instead of scheduling a meeting.
Only one app can use most webcams at a time. Close video-call apps like Zoom, Teams, or Meet — including browser tabs with an active call — then run the test again. If the preview is black but the device chip shows your camera's name, it's the privacy shutter or a second "virtual camera" driver being selected; pick your real camera in the device menu above.
Yes. The preview runs entirely in your browser using its built-in camera APIs. No frames are captured, stored, or uploaded — close the tab and nothing remains.
The preview is mirrored on purpose, like a mirror, because that feels natural when you adjust your position. Other people — and recordings — see you the right way around.
Most built-in laptop cameras are 720p or 1080p; external webcams commonly reach 1080p or 4K. The readout above shows what your browser actually negotiated, which is what calls and recordings will use.
Yes — the test works in mobile Safari and Chrome, and the device picker lets you switch between front and back cameras.
Record a short screen recording with Chairkick — your camera appears in the corner of the video. It's free, runs in the same browser you just tested, and uses the same camera.
Record your screen with your face in the corner, then share a link that anyone can watch — no downloads for you, no sign-ups for viewers.
