• Use an even, diffuse (soft) light source. A fluorescent lighting and cloudy days provides soft light, as the shadows cast by these sources are usually soft not sharp.
• Avoid mixing colour temperatures (warm and cool or incandescent and fluorescent) lighting sources. Different colour temperatures confuse your webcam and make participants look orange or blue
• Use a solid blue or green background. Warm colours like pink and orange tend to conflict with skin tones, making participants appear ghostly inside the studio.
