Can't add Signature to Preview

Just bought a NEW MacBook Air, and I can't add my signature using the camera on Preview. I've tried the old solutions, shutting down and restarting, closing preview and reopening. Add signature works on trackpad and iPhone, but not in the Camera option which I prefer to use because otherwise my signature looks like a scribble.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

'Signature' option in Preview not working I tried to create an electronic signature in Preview so I could use it to sign a PDF email attachmet and then attach the signed PDF to a reply email. However, it's not working, and I have no clue why. Here are the steps: After I select “Show Markup Toolbar,” I click on 'Sign'. Then I select the 'Camera' option (my trackpad isn't working anyway). I hold up a piece of paper with my signature in front of my MacBook Pro's webcam and press 'DONE'. After that, according to what I've read, if I click on 'Sign' again I should see my signature (presumably saved as an 'image' file) in a menu. But I don't. All I see is the same option to use the camera, after which I get the same prompt sequence mentioned above, as if I've done nothing prior to that. There's no sign of my 'signature' anywhere. I've done this four times. What is going wrong here? Thanks.

Preview Signature Camera I tried using camera to capture my signature and my Mac isn't capturing it when I hold the paper to the camera. Is there a troubleshooting video on how to correct whatever I'm doing wrong?
