What is the highest video resolution achievable with my MacBook? I know how to use QuickTime to record a movie with my Macbook camera. It seems the resolution is 1280x720. Is this the maximum? Does this depend on the used software?
In your about this Mac - choose your marketing name of your mac and then look it up in the manuals.

Most integrated cameras are 1080 and not 4k - so you will want to get a Logitech or DSLR camera for your mac if you care about higher resolution or better low light controls.
