Use the built-in camera on Mac. Many Mac computers and displays have a built-in iSight, FaceTime, or FaceTime HD camera located near the top edge of the screen. The camera automatically turns on when you open an app that can take pictures, record videos, or make video calls. You can decide which apps are allowed to use the camera on your Mac. Question: How do I connect a camera in a MacBook Air? I record meetings at our computer user group. Last Wednesday, I wanted to use a Webcam to get closeups of the next table, and possibly small items that wouldn't show well from a distance.

The new MacBook Air retains the design of the 2018 and 2019 models, with most improvements coming in the form of upgrades to internal components; one exception is a new keyboard design. 2018 MacBook Air on left, 2015 MacBook Air on right. Just got my new Macbook Air 2018 edition. Sadly I did not research enough and was badly surprised by the camera problems.
Apple continuously improves the iPhone's front-facing camera, but the company's laptop webcams seem frozen in time, somewhere deep in the last decade. The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern made a video comparing the webcam in the just-released MacBook Air against webcams in the Dell XPS 13, the Google Pixelbook Go, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3, and her elderly 2010 MacBook Pro. The Surface Laptop 3 and especially the Pixelbook Go easily bested the MacBook Air, with the XPS 13 bringing up the rear. Even the 2010 MacBook Pro's 1280-by-1024 iSight camera performed better than the 2020 MacBook Air's 720p FaceTime HD camera (1280-by-720 resolution) in some circumstances. None of them hold a candle to an iPhone 11's front-facing TrueDepth camera, which provides a whopping 12 megapixels of resolution and can record 4K video at 60 frames per second.
Why are laptop webcams still so bad? Www free video poker. Laptop lids are much thinner than most phones and tablets, people don't tend to take selfies with a laptop, and hardware designers may assume that anyone who really cares will attach an external webcam. But with so many people now working and socializing via videoconferencing due to COVID-19 precautions and stay-at-home orders, we hope Apple improves its webcams for future laptop models. Besides, how are we going to get Face ID in a laptop without a TrueDepth camera system?
