How to use the webcam test
Choose Start Camera and allow access if prompted. Use the camera selector to choose or switch webcams when more than one is available. Check that the live preview appears and review the reported resolution: it describes the current stream, not the camera's maximum capability. Choose Stop Camera when you finish.
If the webcam does not appear or looks wrong
Check browser and operating-system camera permissions, the selected camera, and any privacy shutter. Reconnect an external webcam if needed. If access still fails, close other apps using the camera or try another browser. Low resolution or a poor image alone does not prove a hardware fault.
