How to record with your webcam

  1. Press "Turn on the camera" and allow it.
  2. Choose the camera and quality, then press Start recording.
  3. Press Stop, then play and download your video (or save it as MP4).

Good to know

  • The preview is mirrored, like a mirror; the recording isn't, so text behind you reads the right way.
  • Take photos at any time with "Take a photo".
  • Saved as WebM (or MP4 in Safari); "Save as MP4" makes a file that plays everywhere.

Recorded on your device

The recording is made by your browser and kept in this page until you download it. Nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere, and the page can't send it anywhere. The browser asks for permission first, and you can stop sharing at any time.

Frequently asked questions

My camera doesn't start. What can I do?

Allow the camera in your browser (the icon in the address bar), close other apps that use it (video calls), and try again. The Webcam Test shows more details.
