That turning the study lamp towards the wall and bouncing off thing...it worked for me man! Thanks for this video !

OH MY GOSH FINALLY A TIP THAT I LIKE. The shining of a lamp at the wall is REALLY what I've been looking for. No need to create a diffuser yet you still get this very flattering soft light. AND i don't have a blinding light source shining directly to my eyes! Thank you so much! 🥰❤❤

definitely gonna start trying it ate, I just charged my lamp for tommorow

Thank you so much! I was breaking the first rule. It was terrible as I was not showing up on camera in meetings. Showing each lighting mistake and solution was extremely helpful. Thanks again.

My favorite part, is when he says, you don't need to look like a tv studio. That's all that matters.

Could you share how you were able to get rid of the glare/reflection on your glasses when you sat in front of the window? Thanks.

Man thanks for making this. I have to do some virtual meetings for the first time and these were practical and required things that most people already have at home , no extra purchases. Great content 👍🏽

That was really nicely laid out and insightful, thank you!

Great examples here. Been preaching the window light trick for years--but the best one is clearly the bounced light trick!

Helpful and simple, thanks.

Very very helpful! Especially the lamp bouncing effect.

You are awesome! Very professional and well done

Very helpful - thanks!

Thank you for your tips!

wow! desk lamp works to my set up! thanks!!!

Thank you! Great tips! Stuff I can do even.

Excellent tips in the realm of reasonable!

you are awesome! Simple hack of throwing lamp light towards wall made a lot more difference in the video lighting.

Do you have any recommendations for night time Zooms, where there's no natural light? Thank you so much!

Thank you! It was what I was looking ;)

Many thanks. Great !

Your last line was awesome

Gia, you are bright and adorable. Thank you so much!

Thank you Tom.

Doing zoom meetings now for a course I’m taking and my situation was way too dark Gonna try that lamp thing out. Thanks!

Good tip I do have issue on my end for my video conferencing for work seems like every time I do that I have dark screen.

My big question - how did you keep all those lights from reflecting off your glasses?

you can remove your glasses

Thank you for explaining. Doesn't zoom also adjust automatically to help the video lighting?

Thank you because i really didn't know light can bounce like a ball...

VG tips. Thnx.

Great video. Do you have a link to that backdrop?

Last Line 👏

Thank you sir

how about attachable lighting devices to the laptop? Lume Cube or any others?

😊 Thanks.

These tips must be noted down

Additional tip for desk lamp: Put tin foil on the wall. Foil has way better reflection and it makes it much better.

That last line is whats matter the most

doh I was looking for a solution to having a window behind me!

Great mix of animation, footage and humour, thanks. And guys, once you’ve got your lighting sorted, fix these other two things - webcam position and background control. Here’s a tutorial: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqmes8WbeZfeaNo.html

can't let them see those "disgusting living quarters" 😂

My lighting looks bad on camera when I use zoom or teams but much better when I use Webex.

I pretty much refuse to do video calls unless I have a right light handy. I guess I'm just vain.

@2:30 "if you really don't want people peering in on your disgusting living quarters" - that made me chuckle. Hands up to the grubs!

Thank you Tom.
