Fix Blurry or Dark Webcam Video
1) Fix the Light First
- Face a single, bright light in front of you (window or lamp)
- Avoid backlighting
- Place a lamp ~45° from your face to reduce shadows
2) Resolution & Framerate
- Choose 720p or 1080p @ 30fps
- In low light, a lower framerate can reduce noise
3) Focus & Lens
- Toggle autofocus if available; otherwise set manual focus once
- Clean the lens with a microfiber cloth
4) Exposure & White Balance
- If your app allows manual control, lock exposure and white balance after you set the light
- Avoid aggressive background blur — it can soften your face
