      In recent weeks, we have been releasing one new feature after another. And we're definitely not done yet.

      Meteo Webcams Map - Real-Time Weather Preview

      Webcams that we select so that you can see the actual weather in the area.

      Webcams are a great help in analyzing the weather on the ground before the trip. However, clicking on several webcams and looking for the right one could be tedious and time-consuming.

      That's why we've made things easier for you, and now you can turn on a preview of all webcams on the map. This way, you immediately know what the weather is like at that location. This allows you to choose the webcam that gives you the best view.

      And guess what? It's free and ad-free. We keep our word and always want to develop both premium and free features.

      How to turn on/off the preview

      We know that the preview takes up a lot of space on the map. That's why you can turn it off and on as you like. Take a look at the images to guide you.

      How to add a new webcam

      Anyone can add a webcam as long as they have the permission of the camera owner.

      1. Open any camera
      2. Click on add new camera
      3. Follow the instructions
      4. Once approved, the camera will be added

      The camera does not need to be visible to everyone if you only want it for your personal use. Webcams on Windy are primarily for weather, so we delete webcams where they are indoors or just advertising.

      For each webcam, we list its source, which can be clicked on from the camera details. This way, you can bring a lot of visitors to your website.

      The ideal webcam on Windy includes:

      1. Outdoor view (we don't approve any indoor cameras)
      2. Both land and sky
      3. High resolution
      4. Important location (beach, lake, mountain, airport)

      Other webcam tips:

      1. Save your favorite camera
      2. View cameras near your place
      3. Filter only daylight webcams
      4. Add a webcam widget (Android only)

      Go Premium to have unlimited access

      The Webcams Map is available ad-free for everyone. Do you like what we do? Enjoy the perks of Windy Premium and save an unlimited amount of favorite webcams, places, or alerts.

      Yearly subscriptions start from €18.99 (less than €1.6 per month). Check Windy Premium to see the equivalent in your currency.

                  Hey guys, you can find the switch on all platforms. On the desktop, it's right under the webcam icon.
