How to increase the quality of your video in a Teams meeting
How can you increase the quality of your video while in a Teams meeting?
You can now adjust your brightness and soft focus on your camera which enhances your video quality when your lighting is poor.
Specifically, the soft focus “smooths” the features on your face while in a video call. Similar to a “filter” you would use on other social media applications.
In the top right-hand corner, go to “settings and more” and click on “settings”. Go to devices and scroll to camera settings.
For most users, you’ll want to use the option “automatically adjust camera controls”. You can adjust your settings before or while you’re on your call.
For the “soft focus” settings, you can adjust this to your preference by using the slider.
