このテストの仕組み

We preview your webcam using getUserMedia and sample frames in a hidden canvas to estimate average brightness. Everything runs locally.

  • No frames are uploaded or stored.
  • We compute a simple brightness estimate to guide quick adjustments.

トラブルシューティング

  • If the camera is blocked, click the lock icon and allow Camera, then reload.
  • Close other apps using the camera (Zoom, Teams, Meet, OBS) and retry.
  • On mobile, keep the tab active so the camera stream stays running.

Quick steps

  • Click Start Test and allow camera access.
  • Look at the preview and check the brightness reading.
  • Add a front-facing light if you are too dark.
  • Reduce backlight or lower exposure if you are washed out.

Fast fixes for better lighting

  • Face a window or lamp; avoid windows behind you.
  • Raise your monitor or laptop so the camera is closer to eye level.
  • Use a soft light (diffuse) instead of harsh overhead lighting.
  • Clean the camera lens if the image looks hazy.

When to use this test

  • Before interviews and meetings to avoid dark or washed-out video.
  • After changing rooms, desks, or lighting conditions.
  • When your camera looks grainy due to low light.

Safety and privacy

  • Video is processed locally; nothing is uploaded.
  • Stop the test to release the camera when finished.

よくある質問

How accurate is the brightness score?

It’s an estimate based on the camera preview. Exposure and auto-brightness vary by device, but it’s useful for quick setup checks.

Why do I look dark with a bright window behind me?

Backlighting makes cameras lower exposure, darkening your face. Face a light source and avoid bright windows behind you.

Do you upload video?

No. Video stays in your browser and is not uploaded.

What lighting is best for video calls?

A soft light in front of you at eye level (like a lamp or ring light) usually looks best. Avoid harsh overhead light and strong backlight.
