See what camera and microphone permission can enable

This lab shows how a website can transmit video and sound to a remote teacher dashboard. This is not a prize or a real security warning.

Before you begin

Pressing Start Live Broadcast will request camera and microphone access and then transmit live video and sound to your teacher. The teacher can see and hear you until you stop. No automatic server recording is included. You can decline or stop at any time.

Not connected. No camera or microphone access has been requested.

No name is requested. For demonstration and troubleshooting, the server logs your IP address, browser type, and an anonymous session ID. The teacher sees these details while the session is active. No live video/audio is saved by this lab.

What this teaches

Clicking a link alone does not automatically grant camera access. Once you grant permission and intentionally start a broadcast, a website can send live media over the internet. A browser permission prompt is different from informed consent to stream your media.
