Step 1
If you need to increase the resolution of your webcam in order for the image quality in Skype to be better, change this setting in the video settings. Please note that this will mean changing the camera resolution for this one program only.
Step 2
Also, make sure that the speed of your Internet connection and the connection speed of the Skype users with which you make calls can transfer a video call with this resolution. The same applies to other programs for making calls over the Internet, for example, for Mail Agent. The settings of some of these programs can change the global settings of the camera, which may affect its resolution when used in other applications on your computer, but this is rarely the case.
Step 3
Open the utility that was installed with the webcam driver on your computer. In it, set the resolution and video quality of your device, after which these parameters will be relevant for all programs on your computer that in one way or another use the webcam in their work, if they do not have individual settings that will take precedence over the standard ones.
Step 4
To set a different resolution for the webcam, open the driver for this device on your computer. In its settings you will see the parameters of resolution, clarity, image quality, change them as you wish. Here you can adjust the color profile applied to the image and other settings, depending on the laptop model. This item is available mainly in cases when you use a webcam built into your computer and the drivers for it are installed along with the software to the motherboard. In this case, it will also be useful to install an additional program to manage camera settings.
