Laptop cameras are terrible because they need to be super thin. Why? Because people like laptop lids that are super thin.

Some manufacturers sort of fixed that by placing the camera somewhere else. On the one hand, the camera is a bit better, on the other, placing the camera by the keyboard gives you permanent chin face.

Qualcomm laptops seem to have better processors for their terrible webcams at least, but they’re still webcams.

If you need a good webcam, you may need to buy an external one. You need to check reviews, but many USB webcams are excellent. Still won’t solve the problem of your video being compressed to shit by video conferencing software, but it’s a start!
