Thank you for your response but I think you posted in the wrong thread. You missed the point. But thanks for trying.

HP x360 Envy has only one webcam to my knowledge, and this webcam, as the default device, is used by MS Camera software, also in Skype, YouCam, few video editors with video capture and 2 other webcam free apps that I tried. All with the same result.

 

Unless... as per your allegation, I have NOT selected laptops' webcam and captured video with the webcam microphone instead... is this what you're suggesting?

I assure you I know what webcam and webcam picture looks like, and if you had any doubt please have a look at the picture I attached. Both laptops are capturing the same image with the same application, at the same time, and photo of that occurrence was taken with my cellphone.

 

The question is NOT whether I properly selected a webcam, as this is THE ONLY webcam (!) that windows 10 could have selected from among 1 (!) available video devices, but rather why is its picture of such poor quality?

 

I'd suggest you test x360 Envy webcam yourself, provide a proof of that, and let me see the result, like I did, and compare... There have been several posts in this forum about magenta/rosy color cast, blur, noise and low webcam quality.

 

If this is new to you look here:

I can give you more... none of them resolved to users satistaction.

So... let's talk about the subject, I'd prefer that.

 

Regards.
