This browser can’t scan devices

• Try the latest Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
• If you’re in an in-app browser, open this page in your main browser instead.

Helpful guide: Unblock camera and microphone permissions.

Ready to scan your devices

Click Scan devices. If names look generic, click Reveal names to grant permission and show labels.

How this test works

We use the MediaDevices enumerateDevices API to list available inputs and outputs. If you grant permission, browsers can show device labels.

• Scanning lists microphones, cameras, and audio output devices when available.
• Granting permission helps reveal device names; we stop the stream immediately after.

Troubleshooting

• Plug in the device first, then click Rescan so the browser sees the updated list.
• If permission is blocked, click the lock icon and allow Microphone and Camera, then reload.
• Close Zoom/Teams/Meet/OBS if they’re holding the camera or mic, then retry.
• On macOS and Windows, confirm browser access is allowed in privacy settings.

FAQ

Why are device names blank or generic?

Most browsers hide device labels until you grant mic/camera permission. Click Reveal names to allow access and refresh the list.

Does this test record audio or video?

No. It only requests permission briefly to reveal device labels, then stops the stream. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

Will I see speakers listed?

Often yes. Browsers typically list audio output devices (speakers/headphones), but some platforms may limit output selection.

What if no devices show up?

Check OS privacy settings, connect the device (USB headset/webcam), and close other apps that might be using it. Then rescan.
