Help with Acer webcam

[lora0612458]

I have an Acer Aspire 5336 and the web cam works fine with AIM, takes pics etc...but it is junk!!! It's the most basic, stipped down web cam I have ever used. They told Me at cust. support that I can use any web cam software to run it and I was wondering if that would that make it any better and what should I use?
Thanks- Lora

Welcome to SF.

it won't improved the resolution. you can use Skype, AIM, etc. to control your webcam, but if it has inherent limitations, it won't improve with software. sorry.

My best bet, I am guessing is to purchase an external webcam?

I would think so.

Check the image resolution, capture resolution and fps on your current webcam, so you know the direction to move toward.
