What Is Zoom Lighting on a Screen?
Zoom lighting uses your monitor as a soft fill light for video calls. A bright, even screen in front of you reduces harsh shadows on your face — a free ring-light alternative for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and streaming.
How to Use Your Screen for Video Call Lighting
- Open Zoom Lighting or White Screen on a monitor facing you
- Enter fullscreen and set brightness to 70–90%
- Position the screen slightly above eye level
- Dim overhead lights that cast shadows downward
- Avoid pointing the screen directly into the camera lens
