Zoom Lighting

Turn a spare monitor, laptop, or phone into a soft fill light next to your face. Without external hardware, your webcam sees even, flattering lighting on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Discord, or any conferencing app — place the screen where you want the light to come from and set the color temperature with the slider.

Working from home in the evening or from a dim hotel room? A backlit webcam gives a dark, grainy image. A quick screen light for video call setups: open this page on a second screen, drop the temperature to around 4000-5000K, and your face becomes the best-lit part of the call instead of a silhouette.

Use the screen as a soft lighting background behind the camera, not just as a key light. A neutral 4000K tone on a monitor behind you lifts shadows and adds depth without any virtual background effect getting in the way of your real surroundings.

Sitting with a bright window behind you blows the exposure and hides your face. Put a second screen as close as possible beside the camera, set it to 5000-5500K at full brightness on your monitor, and your webcam will rebalance — your face gets lit, the window stops dominating.

Travel without an Elgato Key Light or Aputure panel. Any tablet, phone, or spare monitor plus this page is enough for a surprisingly clean stream setup. The 5000K tick on the slider (tooltip: Live Stream) matches typical neutral daylight used by streamers.

For video calls! I don't have an easy ring light, but do have two screens. So I can use one of the screens to light my face!
