Camera, microphone and the saved file
The preview can mirror so it feels like looking in a mirror, and the saved video keeps the camera's real direction. A level meter moves while the microphone hears you, and you can record the picture with the microphone switched off in the form.
The page saves MP4 when this browser records MP4, and WebM when it records WebM. The download button names the format. Both open in current browsers and in VLC. A short take is easier to message or email. Browser support for this page was checked on 27 October 2026.
