Studio Display: Best webcam light recs

[bribri99]

Hi! I have my studio display in my office but have this horrible overhead lighting. I installed a back light but it doesn’t light my face up for zoom calls. Was thinking of a light bar but don’t think that lights me up, just the monitor. What do you all use?

Thanks!

I recommend you minimize any light sources behind you and instead make sure you have a light source in front of you. The most natural looking setup is to just sit in front of a window and use that to light your face. There are also products available like the Elgato Key Light. But you can also just bounce a cheap desk lamp against a wall in front of you to get some indirect light on your face, it's what I do.

I have a Logitech litra beam; it’s pretty good and makes a difference to my teams calls.
