Lights for Livestreams: GVM 800D RGB LED Lights

In today’s episode, we have a look at the GVM 800D-RGB LED lights for livestreaming. These little, affordable lights are both bi-color white lights, but also full RGB. So you can use them to light your beautiful face or to create super saturated, stylized colored backgrounds. In this episode, I used the two light kit with desk-mount stands which is very useful for those streaming in small rooms where you don’t have a lot of space for light stands. Just attach the stands to the edge of your desk and you’re set to stream.

Our latest course is Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini.
