How Our Combined Test Works
Device Detection & Permission
We use browser APIs to request access and list your available microphones and webcams.
Audio Processing (Mic)
Your browser captures audio, which we analyze to display a live waveform and volume levels. We also use the MediaRecorder API for audio recording.
Video Processing (Webcam)
Your browser streams video from your webcam to the preview area. You can capture still images from this stream.
Information Display
We extract technical details from the media tracks to provide you with comprehensive information about your devices.
Tips for Best Results
Ensure no other applications are using your mic or webcam.
Use a quiet environment for accurate microphone testing.
Good lighting will improve webcam image quality.
Update your browser and device drivers for optimal compatibility.
