Why does the camera seem slightly laggy when testing via "Windows Teams Camera Preview"?

07-23-2026


The Microsoft Teams local camera preview defaults to a fixed 1080p at 30fps resolution, which can make the video feed appear a bit slower or less fluid during a standalone preview test. To see the actual, ultra-smooth performance of your camera, skip the standalone preview and join an active online meeting directly (such as starting a real Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet call).
