Good to know

Privacy and browser limits

Most readings come directly from browser APIs and stay on your device. Operating systems, browser permissions, scaling, drivers, and hardware can affect what a page can observe.

For the cleanest result, use an up-to-date browser, keep the tab visible, and close apps that may already be using the device.

FAQ

Questions about the webcam test

Is my test data uploaded?

Does RatedTechTools record my camera?

No. The preview is rendered locally. A snapshot exists only in your browser unless you choose to download it.

Why is my camera name hidden?

Browsers commonly hide device labels until camera permission has been granted.
