How do I set up good lighting for my webcam?
Light from in front, not behind
Webcams automatically record and adjust to the brightest source of light. And if that light is behind you, you're no longer the focus. Avoid being backlit by making sure you're facing toward, not away from, a window or another light source.
How do you set up lighting for camming?
A very basic, but effective video lighting setup involves positioning not just one, but two lights pointed toward your face behind, or parallel with your camera. Instead of putting them directly in line with your face; however, for maximum effect you can place them to either side, and angle them in toward you.
Do you need a ring light with a webcam?
The best way to make sure that you appear clear and professional on the screen – and don't put your peers through a fuzzy picture – is through the use of a webcam with a ring light.
