Desk Lighting for Professional-Looking Video Calls

Good video call lighting makes you look professional without buying expensive equipment. Place your main light source in front of you, not behind. A window in front provides natural light. A desk lamp with a white shade placed behind your monitor provides even front lighting. A ring light offers the most consistent look for frequent calls. Avoid overhead lighting that creates shadows under your eyes. Aim for your face to be the brightest thing in the frame. Test your lighting by taking a quick video before important calls.
