What you can watch
LivePublicWebcams collects public live streams from tourist offices, towns, hotels, nature organisations and enthusiasts who broadcast their cameras on YouTube. Pick a camera below or use Previous / Next / Random to zap through the list, like changing TV channels.
The collection focuses on outdoor views of public places: town squares in Italy and the Netherlands, North Sea and Mediterranean beaches, Mount Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi, African waterholes, US railcams and busy border bridges. We do not list cameras that show private spaces or the inside of homes, hotels or businesses.
The list was fully re-checked on 12 November 2026: streams that had ended were removed and new cameras were added, including Times Square and the Statue of Liberty in New York, Abbey Road in London, Siena's Piazza del Campo, and waterholes in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Frequently asked questions
Are these webcams really live?
Yes. Each stream was live when we last checked it (see the date above). Live streams are run by their owners, so one may go offline for maintenance, bad weather or because the broadcaster ends it. If a player shows an error, try another camera or open the stream on YouTube.
Why is the video muted?
Browsers only allow automatic playback without sound. Use the speaker icon in the player to unmute; many streams have ambient sound or music.
Who owns the cameras?
The broadcaster named under each camera (a city, tourist office, hotel, nature reserve or private operator). LivePublicWebcams only embeds their public YouTube streams with YouTube's official player.
Can I suggest a webcam or report a broken one?
Yes – email [email protected] with the YouTube link. We only add public outdoor cameras whose owner publishes them for embedding.
Why is the picture dark?
It is probably night where the camera is. The cameras are spread across time zones from the Americas to Japan, so when it is daytime for you it may be dark there. Try a camera in another part of the world, or come back during local daytime.
Does the site show private or security cameras?
No. We only list cameras that their owners deliberately broadcast in public on YouTube and that show outdoor public places, landscapes, wildlife or transport. We never list cameras inside homes, hotel rooms or shops, or any hacked or unsecured security camera.
