from my Windows 10 computer.Īlthough the webcam worked perfectly well out of the box and without any instructions, I’ve now downloaded the user manual and software for it, installed the software, and fiddled with the software’s settings. You can purposely offset this to give your shot a different feel as well.In a previous post ( ), I mentioned that I purchased a Logitech C270 webcam for doing webinars, presentations (both on Zoom), video calls (Skype) etc. Adjust the slider to where your skin tone looks as close to how it looks in real life as possible. Aside from just being annoying on stream, it makes for a massive headache trying to color correct to get a consistent looking shot while video editing. This will cause your auto white balance settings to spaz out and your colors will be all over the place. If you are recording with any daylight, as the sun’s position changes in the sky, so does its color temperature. The higher you set the value, the “warmer” the color temperature, and the lower the value the “cooler” the image will look.Īgain, turn off auto white balance. The value is measured in the Kelvin scale. This determines if the white in your image appears more blue or more red. I've linked my 5 lighting/post processing tips to help you solve that problem. If you can't get a setting that's bright enough without frame rate drops, the issue is the lighting, not the webcam or settings. The lighting conditions vary so every time I start up OBS, I tweak the settings based on the current light. For example, on my Brio, -5 is usually a good number for my two light setup unless there's a lot of light coming in from the window. Then, move the slider to where the frame rate has no stutter but the image is still bright enough.

Whether the tick box says “auto exposure”, or a gimmick like “RightLight”, it doesn’t matter. This gives you more precise control and it stops the camera from changing up the brightness of your image without your permission.

To fix these issues, first turn off any auto exposure settings.
