For TV appearances from my work-from-home office, I've been using my phone mounted from an eye-level tripod clip. Either the front or back cameras will be better than any laptop you have. One option is to use your phone's camera. Especially for a smaller, low-slung laptop like the Air, your camera isn't going to be at an optimal angle if it's sitting on your desk or kitchen table and aimed up at you. There's at least a reasonable chance you're beaming into an online video meeting from a MacBook Air or something similar.
Many Windows laptops are barely better, many with similar sub-1080p resolutions, but at least some have better light sensitivity, color accuracy or depth-sensing for facial-recognition logins. This is the same basic type of camera the company has been putting in laptops for years, and this isn't the first time we've complained about it.
