Low resolution of logitech meetup camera in Microsoft Teams

Hi everyone.

I have an issue with our Logitech Meetup conference camera. If i look at the image via the Windows 10 camera app, the image quality is very good (1080p) .

But when working in Microsoft Teams, or Skype for consumer, the image is blurry, with jagged edges that indicate that the resolution is very low. If, for comparison i try to reproduce the same image quality in the Windows 10 camera app (there i can choose the resolution manually, i have to reduce the quality to 360p).

Our bandwidth is 300mbps down/30mpbps up so that should not be the problem.

I first thought that it had to do with the performance of our conference PC.

But the strange thing is that in Google Hangout or Zoom, i don't have this problem, there the image quality is just fine/as expected.

Also when i connect my Surface Book to the Logitech Meetup, i have the same bad quality in Teams, but when i switch to the internal camera of the Surface Book, image quality is perfect...

In skype for consumer I have the same issue as in Teams, so i think that it has to do with the way Microsoft addresses the camera.

Firmware of the Meetup is on the latest version (i installed it to improve the automatic centering on the audience aka RightSight) but I am not sure if i have used the Meetup camera in Teams with the old firmware) , all latest windows and teams updates are installed.

Any clues ? Thanks for your insights.

    so after several calls to Logitech and awaiting responses I am getting nowhere, here is my last post on the logitech support forum,

    I recently purchased a Meetup Conferencecam and am running the following specs

    Intel NUC I5, 8Gb, 4K Intel graphics

    4K 75" TV

    windows 10 1909 fully patched and updated

    Meetup Conferencecam using the factory supplied usb cable and PSU

    when i plugged in the conference cam it requested a firmware update which I did then when testing the video quality is absolutley terrible, the camera does track and move with objects and I do get video but its worse than a 1.3 megapixel webcam from the early 2000's.

    the firmware version is as follows

    MeetUp Firmware Version

    1.0.234

    PID

    0x0866

    Audio Firmware

    1.0.250

    BLE Firmware

    1.0.121

    Codec Firmware

    8.0.94

    EEPROM Firmware

    1.15

    Video Firmware

    1.0.234

    in device manager the devices shows up as logitech meetup but is using the usbvideo.inf driver from Microsoft that is dated 2006!

    I have contacted Logitech regarding the issue and they just keep saying to update the firmware, I clearly stated in the ticket I had done it already.

    here is an article with at least 9 other people with the same issue

    I am also having the same problem. I installed a meetup on an intel NUC running windows 10.

    the first thing i did was update the firmware I am running version 1.0.234, this appears to be the latest version on the logitech website.

    I have tried the camera on a second PC and have tried using a USB C to usb C cable but it has made no difference in quality. regardless of what I change the quality is about the same as a 2mp web camera.

    Has anyone had any success in resolving this?

    I also have the same problem.  I got everything set up and fired up a Teams meeting and was very disappointed.  I originally thought there must of been some protective film over the lens but there was not.  It is very poor quality video.  I have not tried using the web versions for the meeting so I may try that as a work around.  Hopefully this will be resolved soon as everything else works very well.  I think it is a nice conference cam.

    Glad to hear I'm not alone. If others have the same problem, please mention in on this thread. I suspect that it has to do with the firmware update. Asked logitech if they could verify that.

    Something i have remarked was that in Teams camera settings, the camera is identified as Meetup Camera, and in all the other software, including the web version of Microsoft Teams, it is shown as Meetup Camera:8A:BE:3C (or something like that, i didn't note the hex numbers)
