Hi,

I have recently taken Dell 5510 with Windows 11.

Whenever I am starting Webcam, Google meet or zoom, camera quality is initially blurry and brightness is getting changed to lighter mode automatically.

It seems some auto mode is enabled Windows11. Please help to solve it.

Thanks

Avra

As far as I know laptop built-in web-cameras are point cameras (always focused), there is no lens you can adjust focus. The blurred image might mean a dirty lens. Have you tried cleaning the lens with some cotton cloth and very little alcohol or other screen cleaner fluid? Of course you should put the liquid on the cloth, not directly on the lens!
