If your camera isn't working, make sure you've given your browser permission to access it. Also, ensure it's not being used by another application. On some devices, you may need to enable the camera from your system settings.

To improve video quality, make sure you have good lighting (preferably natural light in front of you). Keep a clean and tidy background, and place the camera at eye level. If possible, use a wired internet connection instead of WiFi for a more stable stream.

It's normal for your camera preview to appear mirrored; this makes it more intuitive to see yourself. However, when others see you in a video call, your image appears correctly (not mirrored). This is standard behavior in most video conferencing apps.

This camera test works in most modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari in their recent versions. For best results, we recommend keeping your browser updated to the latest version available.

If your microphone isn't working, make sure you've given your browser permission to access it. Also check that it's not muted at the hardware level (many microphones have a physical mute button) and that it's selected as the default input device in your operating system.

To reduce background noise, try to position yourself in a quiet place, close windows and doors, turn off nearby fans or air conditioners. Consider using a microphone with noise cancellation or headphones with an integrated microphone that are closer to your mouth.

Echo usually occurs when sound from speakers re-enters the microphone. To avoid this, use headphones so sound doesn't come out of speakers, reduce speaker volume, or move them away from the microphone. You can also try echo cancellation software if available.

To improve audio quality, speak directly into the microphone, maintain an appropriate distance (not too close or too far), avoid covering the microphone with your hands or other objects, and consider using a higher quality external microphone if necessary.

If you can't hear anything, check that your headphones are properly connected, that the volume isn't at zero both in your system and browser, and that you've selected the correct output device in your system's audio settings.

Use our stereo audio test that plays specific sounds in each channel. You should clearly hear audio in your left ear when the left channel plays and in your right ear when the right channel plays.

Distorted sound can be due to loose connections, damaged cables, volume too high, or audio driver issues. Try lowering the volume, checking connections, or testing with other headphones to rule out hardware problems.

If you only hear from one headphone, it could be a cable issue, connection problem, or audio balance setting. Check that the connector is properly inserted, try other headphones, and verify the balance settings in your operating system.

If your mouse isn't responding or moving slowly, check that it's properly connected (USB or wireless). Clean the optical sensor on the bottom, replace batteries if wireless, and ensure drivers are updated. Also check the surface you're using the mouse on.

Use our mouse testing tool to verify each button. Try left click, right click, middle click (wheel), and additional buttons if available. Also test wheel scrolling up and down. Each button should register when you press it.

If right-click doesn't work, it could be a hardware or software issue. Try another mouse to rule out system problems. Check mouse settings in your operating system. If it's a physical problem, the button may be damaged and need repair or replacement.

Scroll issues can be due to dirt buildup in the wheel, incorrect system settings, or mechanical wear. Clean the wheel with compressed air, check scroll settings in your operating system, and ensure drivers are updated.

Keys may not work for several reasons: dirt or debris under the keys, loose connection (USB/wireless), outdated drivers, or physical damage. Try cleaning the keyboard, checking the connection, updating drivers, or testing with another keyboard to identify the problem.

Use our keyboard testing tool to verify each key. Click in the test area and then systematically press each key on your keyboard. Working keys will appear registered. You can also test combinations like Shift, Ctrl, Alt with other keys.

If a key sticks or repeats, it could be due to dirt, spilled liquid, or mechanical wear. Turn off the device, carefully clean around the key with compressed air or a damp cloth. If the problem persists, it may need professional repair or replacement.

This usually happens due to incorrect keyboard language settings in the operating system. Check that the keyboard language and layout are configured correctly in your system's language settings. It could also be due to function keys (Fn) being activated or caps lock being on.
