✅ Common Causes and Fixes
| What Might Be Wrong | What You Can Do |
|---|---|
| LED or tube lights directly overhead | Shift your position or move the light source so it’s not shining directly on your face. |
| Monitor brightness is too high | Lower your screen brightness to reduce white-wash and facial glare. |
| Wearing glasses with reflective coating | Tilt your screen slightly or adjust lighting to avoid reflections on your lenses. |
| Light source is behind you | Sit facing the light source, never with it behind you. |
| Uneven lighting from one side | Use balanced lighting from both sides of your face to avoid shadow patches. |
📚 Additional Troubleshooting
Try these before starting your test:- Use warm, soft light (like a desk lamp pointed at the wall) instead of white LED spotlights
- Place your monitor slightly lower or at face level to minimize screen glare
- Run the system check and webcam preview to spot glare issues in advance
🌐 Final Check: Check for Glare
Before beginning:- Open your webcam preview
- Look for white spots, reflection on your skin or glasses, or dark shadows
- Adjust your screen or lighting until your entire face is evenly lit and glare-free
