If your video calls or live streams are coming across blurry, your internet connection may only be half to blame. Sure, a poor connection can lead to annoying buffering, but if you’re experiencing a fuzzy screen on your conference calls or video chats, it could be due to a buildup of oils, dust and grime clouding your camera and display. Ask yourself: when was the last time you really did a deep clean of your devices?
