Webcam Problems

For some ReliScore tests, we require that your webcam is turned on. To check whether your webcam is working properly, please follow these instructions.

Basic Checks

  • Check that you are using an `https` url and not an `http` url. The webcam does not work with `http` urls.
  • Turn off video in Zoom. Stop all other apps that are using the video camera
  • If the system does not show you any error message related to the webcam, that means it is working, so you can just continue the test.
  • If the system gives an error message like "User refused permission", then you need to re-enable permissions. Go to the bottom of this page for instructions on how to do that: Chrome, Edge.
  • If you still have trouble, see the Testing your webcam link below

Testing your webcam

Visit https://test.webrtc.org

You will see a page that looks like this:

Give the site permission to use your webcam by clicking on "Allow"

After this, you'll see a screen like this

Click on "Start" to start the test

Your microphone will get tested first. If that is working you'll see a green tick mark against the microphone. After that, your camera is tested. If it is working, you'll see a green tick mark against the camera. If this happens, your webcam is working fine

If, instead of a green tick mark, you see a red cross, there is a problem with your webcam.

Fixing Webcam Problems

First, try visiting the same site with a different browser. You can try Chrome, Edge, or even Firefox.

Turn off all apps that are using video, including zoom

Make sure you are using `https` and not `http` in the URL.

If it still doesn't work, you will need to try this from a different device
