Google is releasing a new camera and microphone preview feature as part of an exciting update for Chrome users. Thanks to this addition, they can finally preview audio and video inputs before websites are granted access.

What’s interesting is that this feature is similar to what Microsoft Teams already offers, indicating a trend toward improving user control and experience on various platforms.

To access it, users can enable an experimental flag in Chrome. By navigating to chrome://flags#camera-mic-preview and relaunching the browser, they gain the ability to select their preferred camera and audio device before granting permissions to websites.

With this update, Chrome has advanced significantly, and users can now more efficiently manage their settings. Whether you use Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet frequently, it adds even more peace of mind.

But what exactly does this feature look like? In Windows 11, the microphone preview shows two cylindrical rectangles that represent the current and maximum audio levels, while the camera preview shows your video inside a rounded rectangle. Google's help page states that these levels are updated every 0.5 seconds to guarantee a consistent feed.

All things considered, the preview feature for the camera and microphone looks to simplify the user interface and enhance privacy settings. Have you given it a try yet?
