Grainy camera on MacBook Air

Just bought a MacBook Air and the camera for FaceTime and Zoom is sooooo grainy. Any ideas to get a clearer picture at night?

FaceTime Camera I just got a MackBook Pro 13-inch 2020 M1 barely 2 weeks ago and I noticed that the FaceTime Camera is blurry and grainy - no matter what app I use it with (Phone Booth, FaceTime, Zoom, Skype, you name it). I have seen similar issues reported with current MackBook Air machines but nothing about the model I have. Has anyone experienced the same issue? Any advice to fix it?

Hi,

It's infamous internal camera quality. You'd better get external webcam for FaceTime and Zoom which compatible MacBook Air and macOS.
