• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

thats cool, its probably limited to your framerate from your webcam

camera looks at input (takes time), processes ( takes time ), calculates whats to do with the mouse ( takes time ), then finally moves the mouse

yeah it seems to be limited by your cam's framerate and your laptop

Well if it’s the camera, you can add smoothing interpolation. But if it’s the laptop processor, there isn’t much you can do.
But adding smoothing is not a simple task. Since you would need a multi threaded way to communicate between tasks

can't say much from the video.

but most webcams i've seen have more than 10fps.

probably it's just the code being slow.

sure you could make the mouse move more smoothly using interpolation between mouse coordinates. but that would introduce even more latency.
