Make sure that there is enough light coming through the lens and that it isn’t too dark or too bright.

Another potential cause of blurry images is dirt or dust on the camera lens. Wipe off the lens with a soft cloth. If you have a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with a case, make sure to remove it before testing the camera again. Also, try using different apps such as iMovie or Photo Booth to see if you get different results from each one.

You should also ensure that your Wi-Fi connection is strong enough for video calls by moving closer to your router and eliminating any obstacles that could impede its signal, such as walls.

Lastly, check your display settings in System Preferences: select the external display in the sidebar then press and hold the Option key while clicking Scaled to see additional resolutions. Select a resolution then click Done to apply it; this may help clear up any blurriness onscreen.

We hope these tips help get your Mac camera back up and running! If you find that none of these solutions work, it may be time visit to an Apple store for professional assistance.
