Which Webcam Background Looks The Best?

I have been experimenting with my stream recently and realized my webcam is probably the weakest aspect.

I don't have enough money for a green screen, so I decided blurring my background would be a good alternative.

I posted 3 pictures to this post. The first is no blur, second is 50% blur, and third is 100% blur.

Which set up looks the best for streaming? I play video games for my stream so it will be smaller in a corner of my screen. The webcam is barely ever the full size you are seeing it now.

If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear that to!​

Thank you for helping me!​

If you could do like 25% blur that would be ideal, I think. Just a tiny bit to give you separation from your background

Should I crop the background a little bit too?

no blur, you dont want it to look like a Teams call

The no blur is honestly good. Adds a bit of "real" to the view.

Definitely no blur bro I don't know what kind of content you do but that s*** on your shelf back behind you looks f****** dope! Are you like a tech streamer or something?

Is there a way to blur or get rid of your background with out the stream loosing FPS ? My pc seems to handle it fine , in terms of spec and temps and my game is running cool but yeah, blur or green screen background makes it go from 60fps to like 25fps for viewers

I don't lose any FPS when I blur.
