1) Rotate the focus ring around the lens to achieve a sharper image or use the zoom function in the webcam settings to achieve the best focal length
2) If your webcam is designed for a 2.0 USB socket and your computer does not have one you may need a powered hub.
3) Check out the readme file on the Microsoft hardare support site to see if you need additional software or a specific browser
Visit the Microsoft hardware support page

Got no picture all blurry

No picture or one that is all blurry? If blurry,
Clean the lens and make sure it is not loose or damaged. The camera cannot produce blurry pictures at distances greater than around 0.3m ish as it has a fixed focus lens. If it really is blurred either you are too close to the lens, the lens to sensor distance is wrong (mechanical damage) or the lens is dirty.
I hope that helps

Blurry picture

Make sure the lens is clean
Some webcams have a focus ring around the lens you can rotate to sharpen the image - like a telescope.
Others rely on software and you set the focal length for the best picture.

Why is my webcam extremely blurry?

You need to take the middle black part of the webcam, right around the lenses, and twist and adjust it until you are satisfied with the clearness :D

Hooked up my web cam and picture is blurr

if the webcam is a budget webcam and the picture looks ok when staying still but is blurry when moving, then there is nothing you can do, that is how the webcam is for the fact it is a budge, low price webcam

if the picture is blurry all the time, usually, around the lens, you can turn something to sharpen the picture up, eg, some cameras you turn the lens's basal itself and it move the lens back and forth changing the focus
