Low quality web cam

Hi,
In general, laptops do not have very high quality web cams. You can try a few tips to make the image clearer:

1. Wipe and clean the webcam surface with approved cleaner and a micro fiber cloth
2. Improve the lighting conditions for the camera by turning on room lights or have lights facing you.
3. Download the newest drivers for your driver at the manufacturer website. Which for Toshiba, is located here: Click Here.

Your best bet to improve quality though, since the above options will only have minor improvements, will be to purchase an HD web camera, which can be found on major online retailers like eBay and Amazon.
Hope this helps. If it does, please accept and rate the solution! Contact me with any more questions you may have. Thanks for using FixYa!

See if there is a ring on the front of the webcam lens that you can turn to sharpen the focus. If that doesn't fix it try the tips in this article How To Improve Webcam Video Quality.

I have found that the installed web cams on most units are inferior and a external USB cam has better quality in sound and picture and are very cheap and can be pointed in any direction and even used to copy photos your screen or documents , so if you are a frequent cam user buy your self a USE cam for $50 or less

You could use the settings option in the camera to do this.

Nothing, it is designed for good quality headphones. If you are using inferior headphones, your sound reproduction will be low quality.

Many factors can affect the image quality of your pictures. If you are experiencing blurry images, please try adjusting the focus ring located around the lens. This will allow you to focus the camera image on objects at different distances. Also, make sure there is good lighting. Improving the lighting conditions can improve the image quality considerably.
Connection Issues:
If the image quality is poor while transmitting video over the Internet using video enabled programs such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo! or AOL Instant Messenger, your connection speed to the Internet directly affects the image quality of the transmitted video. Corporate LAN, DSL/cable modem connections will result in the best image quality experience, while dial-up connections may result in choppy and overall poor quality because of the slower connection speed. Even broadband connections such as DSL/cable modem may experience choppy video at times because of Internet traffic or slow upload speeds. If the image appears clearly in the camera software, most likely your Internet connection may be responsible for the poor image quality in your video program.
Changing Display Adapter Settings:
If you are still experiencing a distorted, fuzzy or grainy image, you may need to change the settings for your display adapter. For optimal image quality, please make sure the video display adapter is set to display at least 16-bit high color or higher. To change the color palette please perform the following steps:

1. Click on "Start," "Settings," and "Control Panel."
2. Double-click on the Display icon.
3. Click on the tab labeled Settings.
4. In the dialog box labeled Color Palette, verify the video mode is set to 16-bit (high color) or 24-bit (true color).
5. Also, check with the manufacturer of the video card for updated video drivers.

Low Light Boost:
If you cannot do anything to improve the lighting situation, some Logitech video cameras have an option for "Low Light Boost." If there is an option for "Low Light Boost," try enabling the "Low Light Boost" in the QuickCam software. To do this:

1. Open the QuickCam software.
2. At the bottom right hand corner of the camera image box, click on the arrow next to the QuickCam icon.
3. Choose "Advanced Camera Settings".
4. Under the Image Enhancement box, place a check mark in the "Low Light Boost" option.
5. If that does not improve the image quality, try adjusting the other image settings, such as contrast, saturation brightness, gain and white balance.
6. Click OK when your are done.

My Logitech Quickcam for notebooks Deluxe webcam was blurry.

I spent 3 hours surfing the net looking for the answer, only to find a load of vague and technical responses about OS's and other ****. I fiddled about with the focus ring around the lens on my cam, which wouldn't move, so i figured i had an inferior version that had some sort of in-built auto-focus.

Eventually i lost my rag with the poor quality of information i was finding on this issue.

I went downstairs, got my pliers out of my tool bag, and wrenched the lens ring.

It moved.

Camera focused.

Job done.

Voila, no techy **** required.
