Improving your video quality

Camera effects, lighting, and the Auto-enhance toggle.

In the video room, click the Sparkles button in the controls bar for camera effects:

  • Auto-enhance — boosts brightness, saturation, contrast (no blur). Closest to Zoom's "Adjust for low light" feel.
  • Touch up — subtle / strong — softens skin (blurs slightly) for a beauty-filter effect
  • Pull camera back — scales your video to 82% with a soft blurred halo backdrop. Makes you look further from the camera without moving.
  • Background blur (light / strong) — blurs your background
  • Background image — upload a custom virtual background

All effects apply to the OUTGOING stream, so everyone watching sees the result. Only one camera effect can be active at a time.

Camera defaults

The platform captures at 1080p / 30fps when your webcam supports it (auto-downscales otherwise). For best results: face a window or lamp, sit ~arm's length from the camera, and check the device-select dropdown next to the camera button if you have multiple webcams.
