Put the light in front of you
A window or lamp behind you turns you into a silhouette. Face the brighter part of the room, then start the webcam test and watch the brightness bar move.
Check the resolution chip
A dark 360p frame can look worse than the same room at 720p. If 720p lights up and 1080p does not, the camera is exposing for the higher mode. Stay on the mode the test marks as supported.
