My webcam is giving grainy, off-colour picture. Any suggestions welcome. It is the same result with any web conferencing tools so it is for sure with the camera.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@Colin73 Welcome to HP Forums Community!
The webcam works, but there are image quality issues, take the following actions:
-
Make sure your video recording environment has good lighting.
-
Change the image quality, brightness, contrast, and other adjustments in the webcam software.
To resolve problems with choppy playback, take the following actions:
-
Reduce the size of the video image in the webcam software.
-
Use a high-speed Internet connection.
-
Do not use other high-speed USB devices while using the webcam.
To troubleshoot other video quality problems, refer to one of the following HP support documents:
