Generally speaking, your FPS is more important than your resolution when you get over 720p as it affects how smooth your video quality looks. The resolution of your webcam should be clearly displayed on the product box, alongside the maximum achievable frames-per-second (or FPS) that the camera can capture. When plugging in your webcam for the first time, it should default to the highest available resolution, with the standard options being 720p or 1080p.
