 Eric, thanks for asking how do we make our Zoom video sharper? Now let me just share a couple of tips and then I wanna get more clear on your situation. One is that of course the camera matters a lot. If you're using the default built-in camera on your laptop, you could probably get a 50% upgrade in sharpness by getting an external webcam. Before the pandemic, I should say once the pandemic started, the webcam companies like doubled their price. It's really, I don't know if it's price gouging or if it's just supply demand, maybe a little bit of both, but yeah, now a webcam, I don't know what it is these days, maybe the post now, it's been three years since the pandemic, so hopefully the prices come down, but you might need to spend $1 to $200, maybe 300 on a webcam, but I would basically go to Amazon and search, Mac webcam or PC webcam for Zoom or whatever. Yeah, you put in some of those words like Zoom even and I would just go with the Amazon's choice because there's like a billion options and you'll just analysis paralysis and to be able to choose for all this one, this one has a few bad reviews. No, all of them have bad reviews, all of them, even the best one having some bad reviews, you can't help it. So you just go with Amazon's choice, whatever the popular one is, should be just fine. One's with thousands of reviews and it's at least four stars, maybe four and a half stars, just fine, just don't worry about the one of two star reviews is gonna drive us nuts if you do that. So number one, webcam. Number two, internet speed does matter, well, okay, actually number two I would say is this, make sure you're recording the Zoom call on your record locally rather than record to the cloud. I think that does make a difference. Now, those of you who might be a little more sophisticated about this, please let me know, comment below. Do you see a difference when you record locally to your computer versus recording to the cloud because Zoom gives us just two options. So I always record locally with the logic that even if my internet during the video is a little unstable or a little bit less bandwidth, it doesn't matter, because I'm recording the local, I'm recording my video before they transmit it over the internet, you see what I mean. So record, number two, record locally. Number three, actually number three is kind of a silly but not really silly, make sure you wipe your webcam because a lot of people just forget, like sometimes they mess with their webcam and don't realize they're putting a bunch of fingerprints on it or oil or whatever. So wiping the webcam actually sometimes makes a big difference. Number four, lighting matters a lot. Okay, so let me give you an example. I'm gonna turn off this light I have. That's not fuzzy. That's a little fuzzier, but obviously you could see how dramatically the lighting makes a difference. So number five, there is a Zoom setting if you go into your video settings on Zoom, which I cannot show you right now, unfortunately, because we're on Zoom, I don't know if Zoom allows me to share Zoom, let me go ahead and try this. Well, I'm gonna read it to you. Basically, before you start recording, look below where it's a stop video, next to stop video, there's a little arrow, click on that and then go to video settings and basically check the box that says HD. So maybe that's it, right? Like a lot of people aren't even recording in HD. Okay, it's like, whoa, really? That's an option, yes, that's an option. So check the HD box and the under my video, there are two check boxes. One says touch up my appearance. Now I'm vain, so I do that, but let me tell me if it gets sharper or not. It's definitely got sharper, you see more wrinkles now, right? Sorry, you didn't know I was, I actually look pretty good for 94 years old, so it's not bad, but now I look only 78 years old. Much better, right? Okay, and then adjust for low light is the other setting. I'm gonna go ahead and check that and see what happens. It's brighter, but I don't know, does it look better? I don't know, you could tell me. So I'm off adjust low light on, adjust for low light off, okay, whatever. It's slight, slight difference. And then what other settings I'm gonna go to advanced and oh, optimize the quality of the video I send with D noise. Okay, that's checked, I think by default. I'm gonna uncheck that. That's under video settings and then under advanced. Optimize quality of the video I send with D noise, D-E-N-O-I-S-E, let me uncheck this. Okay, I don't see any difference locally. Maybe you see a difference. I don't see a difference locally. I'm gonna check that back, because I think it has to do with the video that's transmitted to the other side, to my participants, not when I'm recording locally, like I'm doing right now. And then use hardware acceleration for receiving video, use hardware acceleration for sending video. Again, those are internet issues and not the local recording, so that's it. I think those are all the settings. Again, if those of you who have more experience with Zoom settings and video stuff, please go ahead and chat below and give us your suggestions as well. Okay, one more thing I'll say is that once you get a webcam, or it doesn't matter whether you get a webcam or not, there are webcam softwares on your computer. So on the Mac, I used to use them actually. For whatever reason, it started messing, because I'm so impatient with software that I downloaded webcam softwares, I messed with it too much and it started making my image not as good. But if you're patient enough to download webcam software, which even works, even with not having an external webcam, even just on the default webcam that comes with your computer, the webcam software can adjust that stuff. So the webcam software can adjust sharpness, brightness, contrast, a bunch of other technical things I don't know, something called like white brightness or whatever, it's nothing racial. So try the webcam softwares. There's probably a couple of them for whatever computer you're using and obviously pick the one that's well rated in the app store and then mess around with it. If it's messing around with it too much, you might wanna uninstall it and try to set it back default or something like that. But I decided to uninstall it because I was too impatient and I messed it up too much. So what you're seeing right now is, I think it's the default, whatever the default webcam setting that comes with Mac. So anyway, I hope that helps. Looking forward to seeing any other comments below for how to increase video sharpness. Oh, one more thing, one more thing, sorry. Your computer's processing speed probably does make a difference as well. So most computers within the last, if you bought it within the last seven years, it's probably just fine. But if it's more than seven years old, you could probably do better with the processing, processor now. Okay, and then the last thing I'll say is, we're just talking about Zoom videos, right? So when you upload the Zoom video to different platforms, they will automatically compress. So YouTube automatically compresses your video. Now, if you get a 4K webcam, which I don't have, and again, I'm not tech savvy enough to know this, I'm not video tech savvy enough to know this stuff, please folks who know comment below. If you get a 4K webcam, I'm not sure if you need to set up something in the Mac settings or something else to like record 4K, you might need to. 4K is like beyond whatever the best is that we usually use. I think there's a Zoom setting for 4K, you can look into that. So that makes it like ultra-sharp, like television, whatever television, like professional quality, I don't, my videos might be too fuzzy for you, I don't know. And lastly, when you upload it to YouTube, it automatically compresses, lowers the quality of the video for the typical viewer, most viewers don't realize they can change the quality of YouTube videos, maybe you don't even realize that. So let me just go to YouTube right now and show you. Let me go ahead and go back to my computer. And when you go to YouTube and you watch any video, you can change the quality of it, same thing on Facebook. When you watch a Facebook video, you can change the quality of it and most viewers don't know that. So I don't know, you can educate your viewer on that and they probably will be grateful. You make a video on YouTube channel. Hey, did you know that you can change the quality of my videos? And they'll be like, oh, I didn't know that. And then they'll thank you for it. But so let me go and show you both platforms here. Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead and show you a couple of things here on my screen. Okay, so this is a YouTube video, just randomly open one. And then here on the bottom right, you can click on settings. This is for every YouTube video and you can change the quality. And auto right now says, auto says, says 1080. So I'm actually already watching the highest quality. I think maybe I changed that somewhere on my YouTube. Maybe once you change it, it changes for the other ones. I'm not sure. So folks who know this video tech stuff, please comment below. I could change it to a lower quality if I want to. But right now I'm already on, look, it says 1080, right? 1080p, which is the highest quality that's available for this video. If this person had recorded or had uploaded a 4K video, I should be able to change it to 4K, but that's not the case right now. You could search 4K video, right? 4K video. And hopefully whatever we're watching here, let's say this one, 4K video, right? So let's take a look at this. Wow, look how sharp that is. That's incredible, isn't it? Right, so this is the difference between 1080 and 4K. This is like, I'm like, I'm there, right? But look, you change it auto, 14, oh, I'm not, see, YouTube doesn't want me loading 4K. Do you notice that? So YouTube automatically puts me at 1440. That's good enough. But let's check out 4K and we're gonna get ready. You're gonna feel like, you're gonna feel the wind on your face when you go there, okay. Oh my gosh, right? Like, look at that. That is like, I wanna reach out and grab some of those leaves, right? Okay, so that's YouTube. And then let's go to Facebook, right? Facebook, I just recorded this today. That's true, I wear the same shirt every day. So it doesn't matter if I said it was today or not. Okay, let me go to settings and I'm gonna quality. And because this was a Facebook Live, so I think the highest quality was a 720 for my webcam, but I'm sure if I got a 4K webcam and if I knew, if I messed around with the Facebook Live settings, I could probably make it 1080 or 4K even. So anyway, I hope that helps. I think that's enough. I look forward to seeing your comments below, especially those who have messed around with these kinds of things. Let us know your tips. Thanks.
