Frequently asked questions

Is Browser.camera free?

Yes. Webcam testing, photos, video recording, basic filters, the QR scanner and the microphone test are free and do not need an account.

Are my photos and videos uploaded?

No. Capturing, filtering and recording all happen inside your browser. Files are created on your device and only leave it if you choose to download and share them yourself.

Why does the site ask for camera permission?

Browsers never give a website access to your camera or microphone without asking. You can allow access for this visit, and revoke it at any time from the padlock or site-settings icon in your address bar.

Which browsers are supported?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari (macOS and iOS) and Opera. Some advanced controls such as zoom, focus or exposure depend on your camera and browser and are only shown when they actually work.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. On phones and tablets the studio switches to a camera-app layout with controls at the bottom and lets you switch between the front and rear cameras.
