Best Lighting and Camera Setups for Remote Work

Tips for making sure clients see you clearly during video calls.

I keep a cheap LED panel at 45° and a dim fill on the opposite side so signs stay crisp, and I keep the camera at eye level against a neutral wall. If you wear glasses, skip the ring light or raise it to avoid reflections, and wear a darker top for contrast — ‘no horror-movie shadows.’ @OP if you can only do one thing, face a window and bounce light off a white wall for a soft key.
