Hello Gab878,
If your MacBook Air comes with a built-in camera, try the following steps to resolve the problem:
Improve image quality
- Clean the camera: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the camera.
- Adjust lighting: Make sure you are well lit from the front, without a lot of light behind you; for example, with windows in front of you.
- Improve your Wi-Fi connection: Move closer to your Wi-Fi router and make sure there are no objects impeding its signal, such as walls.
- Change app settings: Certain apps may allow you to adjust camera quality. Check your app settings and adjust if needed.
- Use your iPhone as a webcam: Connect to a supported iPhone and use its camera instead of the built-in Mac camera. See Use your iPhone as a webcam on your Mac.
These steps can be found here on this page: Use the built-in camera on Mac - Apple Support.
If the issue remains after following those steps, look over and follow the guidance offered on this page: If your built-in camera isn’t working on your Mac - Apple Support. This page offers steps to try if the built-in camera won’t activate or appear in an app on your Mac.
We hope this information helps you out.
Cheers!
