Thank you for getting to the point right away. This is the way YT videos should be.

Hi! Do you have any alternatives to the Kiyo X? Or any suggestions for budget 1080p 60 fps webcams? Thanks, mate!

I checked this video out recently, and was hopefully looking for some answers. I don't have the Kiyo X, but I have the pro model, and it doesn't let me adjust focus at all. I can't manual focus it, and autofocus doesn't do anything, so I was wondering what I should do about that.
-Thanks!

so what is the issue, exactly? autofocus being annoying? asking because I'm considering buying it.
as for using an old phone as a cam, I've been doing that, until the battery swelled badly. tried bypassing it, thing got stuck in a boot loop. so watch it. you could have a camera that does fireworks!!

Hello! How do you change between 1080p and 720p?

[Sgtmajorsir]

What are some better alternative webcams please with little to no motion blur if moving hands, not grainy, under $110. Clear picture even at full screen on monitor. My Logitech C525 (old) is grainy and not so great at full screen playback but it is old and 720p at 30fps, HZ 50 or 60 made no difference. OBS made no difference. Just for making family video recordings, skype? Thank YOU

i’m going straight schizophrenic trying to get the camera from 720p to 1080p, whenever i try to do it in obs and set it to virtual camera at 1080p it just won’t work, can’t get virtual cam to show up in discord

Hi i have a problem when i try to install the razer kiyo drivers they do not detect the razer kiyo at all

[wrldcyan]

Hi, i know this is an old video but my kiyo is blurry snd one tried both obs and razer synapse settings but nothing helps, any suggestions?

[spadonika]

I'm having a problem with my kiyo that I cannot find anywhere about it. The lighting on my face is "overexposed" (idk if this is the right word but imagine as if my face was the sun )whenever its natural light ( with the ring light on or off) and when I only have my room's light on and my pc on the left side of my desk. The light on my pc makes my face on the left side "overexposed". The only way to fix it is to cover my pc with a black towel and ONLY have the room's light on ( or the ring light on the least bright). Sometimes I wish I could use the natural light cuz it's morning or afternoon, but I can't cuz it always does that and idk what to do, I've installed the razer kiyo firmware update, I've uninstalled the device and still nothing. The settings are default and even if i put the brightness or contrast to the lowest my face still "blows up" in the camera. Anyone been through that or know how to fix it? I'm desperate

[JonelKingas]

i think theres two version i got so confused, cause theres Kiyo X 30 fps and Kiyo X 60 fps, 60 fps is 100 eur while 30 fps one 35 eur, and 60 one is much much better

[Datteb]

u need to uncheck the Low light compensation for 60fps 🗿

[Nothingisrealanymore]

[crytom]

[vhslaughterhouse]
