What every tool has in common
- Runs in your browser. Nothing to download or install, on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android or iOS.
- No account. There's no sign-up - not even an optional one.
- Your media stays on your device. Camera and microphone streams are processed inside your browser. Photos, recordings and scanned codes are never uploaded to our servers.
- Honest about your hardware. Settings and controls appear only when your camera and browser actually support them, so you never wonder why a slider does nothing.
- Off when you're done. Every tool has a clear way to switch the camera or microphone off, and the indicator at the top of the page shows when either is live.
Before you start: allowing camera access
The first time you use a tool, your browser asks whether this site may use your camera (and microphone, for recording and the microphone test). Choose Allow. If you accidentally chose Block, click the camera or padlock icon at the left of the address bar, change the setting to Allow, and reload the page. You can withdraw access in the same place at any time.
