If you are on a 0$ budget, best thing you can do is place your camera/laptop in front of a window so that the window is right in front of you and it will do wonders for you video quality. Add a 10-12$ lavalier mic and you are good to go! I make my videos like that, it isnt studio quality but for most people I think that should be more than enough.

Quick tip: I had a tungsten light that was orange in temperature. In order to change the temperature to blue, I literally took some Glad Tupperware lids and taped it into my lamp to serve as makeshift gels. You’d be surprised how much something like that improves the color. If you don’t want to use gels, a Tupperware lid could help!

For anyone who has a DSLR but doesn't want to get a capture device: if your camera has a USB data port (for offloading photos and videos usually) there is software that will let you use your DSLR as a webcam via USB cable. I use SparkoCam for my Nikon DSLR and the quality is fine for video calls/streaming. The "dummy battery" AC power adapter was cheap, but a little hard to find

Thanks for this. Not exactly new news to anyone with a bit of experience, but simple, useful advice well explained. Two minor suggestions - turn the lamp shade on the practical in the background so the seam doesn't show in the shot; and put your headphone cable behind you. Better yet wear a wireless earbud as did Mr Fong; it's much less obtrusive than the headphones (or "cans" as many oldies call them). Thanks again.

Fantastic episode. The only thing I would have added would be more discreet headset like the low cost MEE M6 Pro that are transparent and cables at the back. The next issue is for those who want to do Zoom presentations or meetings where the webcam or camera needs to be away from them, and yet they need to be able to reach the keyboard and mouse. I use bluetooth. Then, for those needing reading glasses for computer use, they'll need a prescription for when the screen is further away. Finally care need to be given to have the camera in close line with the screen to avoid the temptation to look away from the camera and onto the screen. Any ideas much appreciated. Greetings from Brisbane down under. Thanks so much.
