Check a local preview before you meet someone
Choose camera or microphone below. This device check does not start a match or call another participant.
A preview just for you. This tool does not record or upload your picture or sound. Each check stops after 60 seconds, when you leave this page, or when you switch away.
Choose a check. Your camera and microphone are off.
A working preview checks device access only. It cannot guarantee a successful network connection or an available match. Other open apps may continue using a device after this tool stops.
Camera blocked on iPhone or iPad?
- Open this page directly in Safari instead of inside another app.
- Open Safari’s page menu, find the website settings and review Camera and Microphone for this site. Menu labels can vary by iOS version.
- If needed, go to Settings → Apps → Safari and review the camera and microphone website permissions. Return here and reload after changing a setting.
Apple’s Safari settings guide explains the current controls. Only allow access when you want to use it.
Check both permission layers on Android
- In Chrome, open Settings → Site settings → Camera or Microphone.
- If this site is listed as blocked, change its permission when you are ready to use video.
- If it still fails, check Android’s app permissions for Chrome. An app-level block can prevent the website permission from working.
See Google’s camera and microphone instructions. Close another app using the camera if permission is allowed but the device cannot start.
What a successful check tells you
A visible picture confirms the browser can access your camera. A moving microphone meter confirms it receives some sound; it does not measure clarity or test another person’s speakers. This tool does not test match availability or the remote call connection.
Stop the check before you start matching. For a delayed picture, try a stable connection and keep the browser in the foreground. Use the cam to cam setup guide or prepare a first question with our conversation guide.
