Answered by Stephen Mosley

To change the quality of FaceTime on your Mac, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the FaceTime app on your Mac.
2. Click on the “FaceTime” menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
3. Select “Preferences” from the drop-down menu.
4. In the Preferences window, click on the “Settings” tab.
5. Here, you will see an option for “Audio/Video.” Click on it.
6. Under the Video section, you will find a dropdown menu labeled “Camera.” Click on it to see the available camera options.
7. Select the camera that you want to use for FaceTime. If you have multiple cameras connected to your Mac, you can choose the one that provides the desired video quality.
8. Additionally, you can adjust the video quality by moving the slider labeled “Video Quality.” Slide it to the right for higher quality or to the left for lower quality.
9. You can also enable or disable the option for “FaceTime HD” if your Mac supports it. Enabling this option will provide higher quality video during FaceTime calls.
10. Once you have made your desired changes, close the Preferences window.

By following these steps, you can easily change the quality of FaceTime on your Mac. Keep in mind that the actual video quality during a FaceTime call may not only depend on your settings but also on factors like your internet connection and the capabilities of the person you are calling.
