Windows 10: Video recording blurry

I'm not sure whether this is a settings or performance query so apologies if it is in the wrong place.


I have a HP Envy13 laptop and don't generally use its onboard camera to make videos so I'm a complete novice in this area. However, I have recently participated in two orchestral 'lockdown' videos where I had to video myself playing and then send it to the person compiling the whole performance. The first time, 9 months ago, was reasonably successful and the video a decent enough quality. However, since then I have found that the quality of the image is a bit foggy, both in Zoom meetings and in my most recent video recording - the difference between it and the first one is very noticeable. I have made sure the camera lens is clean to no effect. I see that there is a choice of settings for 'video quality' on the video camera screen and I don't know which is the most appropriate nor can I find anything in the laptop's own settings or online to explain them, viz:


720p 16.9 30fps

360p 16.9 30fps

480p 4.3 30fps

240p 4.3 30fps

288p 11.9 30fps

144p 11.9 30fps


I've no idea which is the best to use and I hadn't changed them until just recently a long time after the blurriness started to see if it made a difference. Unfortunately I then forgot what the original setting had been yes, I know....


I'd be very grateful for both advice about these settings and, more importantly, how I can get a clearer image back on my screen.

Thanks.

blurry recording video

the other day I recorded multiple videos on my dell inspiron 14 5000. the quality was great. then today (after updating the system yesterday) when I go to use the camera to record the quality is so blurry. this is both through the camera and through the
zoom app. any ideas why? I called dell and they were no help at all.

Im starting to do live classes and im the teacher... I really cant afford to have **** quality right now

 

Video Playback and Recording is blurry on half the screen

After upgrading my Vaio from 8.1 to Windows 10 the video Camera displays on screen and half the screen is blurry. It does not matter if I use the built in cam or a USB webcam. Now ALL my previous videos good videos are playing half blurry no matter which
of several different vid programs I use. The blurriness is mostly the right half of the screen and is horizontal flickering lines stretching the center of the image.

Need suggestions on how to correct.

Thanks
