About Camera recorder
Take photos and record videos from your webcam or another camera in the browser. You can choose the camera and resolution (VGA up to 4K, if the camera supports it), mirror the preview and include microphone audio. Photos are saved as PNG and videos use the best format your browser's MediaRecorder supports, usually WebM or MP4. Captures stay on your device until you download them.
Common uses
- Test a webcam and microphone before a video call
- Record a short video message or bug reproduction
- Take a quick photo without installing an app
- Check which resolutions a camera supports
FAQ
- Are my recordings uploaded anywhere?
- No. The camera stream, photos and recordings stay in your browser and are only saved when you download them.
- What video format does it record?
- It picks the first format your browser's MediaRecorder supports, preferring WebM (VP9 or VP8 with Opus) and falling back to MP4. Chrome and Firefox typically produce WebM; Safari typically produces MP4.
- Why is my camera not working?
- The browser needs camera permission for the site, and the camera must not be in use by another application. Camera access also requires a secure (HTTPS) page.
