Lighting Fundamentals
Good lighting is the most impactful upgrade for stream quality. Position your key light at a 45-degree angle from your face for flattering illumination. Use a fill light on the opposite side to reduce harsh shadows. Consider a backlight to separate yourself from the background and add depth to your image. Aim for 5000-6500K color temperature for natural-looking daylight.
Choosing the Right Lighting
LED panels like the Elgato Key Light offer the best control and quality for dedicated streaming setups. Ring lights work well for face-focused content and provide even, flattering illumination. RGB panels add creative possibilities with colored lighting effects. Budget $100-200 for quality lighting that will dramatically improve your stream's professional appearance.
