Web cam looks bad on mfc but great everywhere else?

[Grazzle]

Hey guys, this is my first post so I apologize if its in the wrong spot or if someone has already asked this question. My question is, is there some kind of settings I can change for my video on mfc? I recently bought a new logitech webcam and its great, on my pc's camera the picture is super clear and balance, but when I use it on mfc it doesn't look so great, the white balance changes constantly from the smallest movements and I look super shiny, I've literally had both open at once to see if I was imagining it, but the regular camera looks great while my broadcast looks like crap. I haven't changed any of the settings on my computer to change the look of the regular camera picture. I don't think its any internet connection or anything either since I always tend to have an excellent connection. Any ideas how to fix this?

Is your flash player up to date? If you are using the online broadcaster, try switching to the software.

You need to adjust the settings in your Logitech software and turn OFF the "auto" option on white balance and gain/exposure. Also, make sure the resolution is set to 240 (I think that's it) and not something higher.

What I do is open the Logitech settings (you have to readjust this EVERY time you broadcast) and click the "auto" buttons on both of the settings mentioned above, then uncheck the auto box, and manually adjust the dials for them until they look right.
