I'm not sure if it's because my webcam isn't high enough quality, but every time I try to use the chromekeying feature with my green screen I can never get a clean key. The edges of my body and head are always fuzzy. I'm using a LogitechC920 if that matters. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

LogiTechC920 should be fine
Check lighting (I use two lights beside me (out of shot) pointing at green screen behind me; and one light in from of me pointing at me)
Make adjustments to the options in vMix (filter etc)
Use Logitech webcam software and check settings; color balances etc (do this before connecting to vMix)

Proper lighting is the key to chromakeying...there are video and other tutorials on line about it, so do a google search.....The green screen has to be the right tone, the lighting has to be consistant and evenly spread, and the camera should have a manually set white balance for better control.....just do a search for chromakey online, and you should get a lot of stuff on the subject...

I played around with the lighting and it worked 100 times better. Thank you so much!

Also try to separate the green screen as far as possible from you. You don't want your shadow showing on the green screen.
