How to Improve Camera Quality
Three low-effort tweaks that improve how you appear in live 1-on-1 video.
Stability beats maximum resolution
A steady 720p stream often feels better than a higher resolution feed that freezes. Close heavy downloads and move closer to Wi‑Fi when possible.
On mobile data, find a spot with strong signal before matching — partners notice lag before they notice pixels.
Light and background
Neutral walls beat cluttered shelves on small screens. If you cannot tidy the room, prioritize clarity on your face.
Solid tops photograph better than tight stripes or neon patterns that shimmer on compressed video.
Audio matters
Mute televisions, fans, and notifications before matching. Your voice carries once video establishes presence.
Headphones reduce echo for both sides — even an inexpensive wired pair helps at home.
