# The display or recorded video in Kiwi looks blurry on macOS. How can I fix this?

Kiwi functions as a camera on macOS, and macOS may automatically apply effects such as Portrait, Studio Light, Reactions, or Background to the camera output. If any of these effects are enabled, they can cause the display or recorded video to appear blurry.

To disable these effects, click the green camera icon in the system menu bar when Kiwi is connected and toggle off any active effects. See the image below for details.

{% hint style="info" %}
The app shows a warning on startup if it detects that camera effects are enabled for Kiwi.
