Generally the FPS of television is higher than that of the cinema. We are used to seeing movies in the cinema and TV shows displayed at around 24-30 FPS. This number is affected by the type of webcam that you have, and also by the speed of your computer and the number of tasks that it is engaged in at a given moment.įPS matters because the higher this number is the more life-like and real the resulting video looks. FPS is the number of frames, or images, that your webcam is taking and transmitting every second.
