How to Improve In-App (3rd Party) Video Quality

Looking to enhance the video quality while using your Opal webcam with third-party applications? Here, we guide you through the essential steps to optimize your video quality for a superior experience.

🖥 System Resources

Ensure your system has sufficient resources to handle high-quality video streaming. Close unnecessary applications to free up memory and processing power.


⚙️ Quality Settings in Opal Composer

Start with the Opal Composer app settings:

We recommend using the "Auto" quality setting, which automatically adjusts based on your system resources and network connection.

If "Auto" delivers a lower quality due to limited resources or network issues, you can lock in a higher resolution, such as 1080p, to maintain a consistent quality.

🛠 Third-Party Application Settings

Adjust the settings in the third-party application you are using:


💼 Hardware Acceleration

Hardware acceleration leverages your computer's hardware to perform tasks more efficiently. Depending on your device, enabling or disabling this feature in the third-party app or web browser settings (for browser-based conferencing apps) can significantly improve video quality.


🌐 Stable Internet Connection

A robust and stable internet connection is vital. Consider using a wired connection to ensure consistent bandwidth, reducing the chances of video pixelation and lag.


📊 Understanding Max Supported Resolutions

Be aware of the maximum supported resolutions for various apps to set realistic expectations:

 
💡
Even if Chrome supports 1080p, Google Meets within it might only support up to 720p.
