See yourself, read what the track actually delivers, and switch cameras — the request fires only when you press Start, and Stop releases the camera completely.
camera off — nothing is requested until you press Start
The camera request happens only when you press Start. Before that the page shows nothing from any camera — device NAMES stay withheld by the browser until you grant permission, and the page says so instead of listing 'Camera 1'.
- The camera request happens only when you press Start. Before that the page shows nothing from any camera — device NAMES stay withheld by the browser until you grant permission, and the page says so instead of listing 'Camera 1'.
- Stop (or leaving the page) stops every track and releases the camera — the hardware light goes off. The preview element is detached on cleanup; no frame is ever stored, sent, or recorded.
- The settings readout is what the TRACK reports (resolution, frame rate, facing) — browsers may crop or scale internally, and two cameras can report identical numbers while looking different. No quality verdicts.
- Denied, dismissed, missing camera, camera in use by another app, insecure page, and unsupported browser are all distinct states here — with the address-bar fix named for the denial case.
