Quality and Performance
Image quality and video performance are impacted by the following factors:
The amount of light on the subject
The webcam resolution setting
The performance of the PC
The bandwidth of the internet connection, especially for chat
If you are experiencing slow or choppy video or washed out color, try adding a small
lamp to the area that will not be visible in the frame. This will light the viewing area of the
webcam and help provide more lifelike video and more accurate color.
