I’ve been thinking about how funny it is that some webcams and microphones can be really terrible. I actually want my webcam to have a bad quality on stream, but without damaging it. Buying a cheap webcam isn’t an option since I already own a good one and I need it to look okay at times too. Does anyone have any creative suggestions for how to achieve this without ruining my current setup?

Another option could be scotch tape! Just stick a couple pieces on the lens. It might give you that desired ‘bad’ look without ruining your camera.
You could try using an old sock or piece of fabric over the webcam. That’ll def give you a low-res vibe without breaking anything!
You could try putting Vaseline on the lens to blur it out a bit. Just keep in mind that it might end up being too blurry and won’t give you the kind of ‘bad’ look you’re aiming for.
Honestly, if you just want a soft focus, it might not be the worst idea. Just apply a thin layer!
Yeah, I figured Vaseline would make it super blurry and annoying to keep applying.
