Camera, light, mic and background — the four pieces of a pro-looking stream.
One soft key light in front of you, slightly above eye level, transforms any webcam. Do this before you spend on a new camera.
Mount or stack the webcam so the lens is at eye height. It's the single biggest 'looks professional' fix and it's free.
A USB cardioid mic on a boom arm, positioned close, beats every built-in webcam mic.
A tidy, slightly-blurred background or a well-lit green screen reads as intentional and professional.
