Setup Tips for a Pro On-Air Look

• Set it at eye level — place the camera so the lens is even with your eyes for a natural, confident look.

• Frame head + shoulders — leave a little space above your head and keep your eyes near the top third of the frame.

• Use soft front lighting — a key light slightly above eye level (45° angle) gives the cleanest “studio” look.

• Separate from the background — add a small lamp or backlight behind you so you don’t blend into the wall.

• Lock in consistency — once it looks good, keep the same camera position, lighting, and settings so every stream matches.
