ONE GUIDED CHECK

Quick Device Check

Get ready for your next meeting with a simple camera, microphone and speaker check.

1 Camera
2 Microphone
3 Speakers

First, let's check your camera

Start your camera and look for a live preview. Your browser will ask for permission.

The camera video stays in your browser. If the image does not appear, check your browser permissions and camera cover.

Now, test your microphone

Allow microphone access and speak. The level meter should respond to your voice.

This checks that your browser receives an audio signal. It does not upload your voice.

Finally, check your speakers

Turn your system volume down before playing a short tone, then confirm whether you could hear it.

We cannot automatically hear your speakers. Your confirmation determines this result. If you hear nothing, check the selected output device and volume.

Your device check summary

These results describe what your browser could detect during this check, not a full hardware diagnosis.

All tests

For detailed microphone recording, camera selection or stereo testing, open the individual tools.

Ready. Start the camera when you are ready.

What does Quick Device Check test?

Quick answer

Quick Device Check guides you through three checks before a call: a visible camera preview, a responding microphone meter and a speaker tone that you confirm hearing. Results describe what was observed or confirmed in this browser session.

How to run this test

  1. Start with the camera preview and confirm you can see an image.
  2. Move to microphone testing and speak while the input meter runs.
  3. Play the speaker tone at a safe volume and confirm whether you heard it.
  4. Review the summary to identify any steps that need attention.
  5. If a check fails, open the matching detailed tool for troubleshooting.

Understanding your result

✓ What a good result looks like

You saw a current video preview, microphone activity was detected and you personally confirmed the speaker tone.

! If something does not work

A partial result identifies a step to investigate. Even three completed checks cannot guarantee third-party app settings or network conditions.

Troubleshooting common problems

Camera step fails

Open the dedicated webcam test and confirm permissions, shutter and the correct camera.

Microphone step fails

Open the microphone test to choose an input and listen to a short sample.

Speaker step fails

Check output device, mute, volume and left/right channels in the speaker test.

What this browser test cannot prove: The guided result is a convenience check, not a professional hardware inspection or a network-quality test.
