Mike Michalowicz shows his virtual presentation setup with three key elements: a three-light rig including a blue backlight, a boom mic through a Focusrite interface for hands-free speaking, and a Logitech 930C webcam. He emphasizes a distinctive background with personal books and an interchangeable sign to build brand visibility on video calls.
Let me show you my setup here. I think you can use the same thing. Lighting is key. So I have 3 lights. That one that's tilted back, that blue light, throws light up on my ceiling and lights the background, uh, that I have set up here. So get lights. Second thing is get a boom mic so that Mike, I can present, uh, without— and there's the camera right there. I use a Logitech. This camera is amazing. Some people think it's a DSLR or whatever. It's not. It's a Logitech 930C, I think. But my boom mic goes into what's called a Focusrite and, uh, picks up the room and I don't need to be constantly, um, having a microphone on my face. But when I want to, I got a swing arm where I can throw one in my face. So that's my setup there. Headsets too. And then the background, I'll say, is the most important thing. Um, get something that is distinct and people notice. Because I have a tree in my background with my own books constantly, people are saying, wow, that's so different. Different gets noticed. Have a sign, interchangeable sign up there. The default, you've got that. I'm sorry, you've got this, but I can also put in and change it out to be your company name if I'm promoting to it. Plus it's got some important effects to me. So that's it. Lighting from the background and you get a view, not necessarily exactly like that, but when I present, it's similar to that. Do the same. You got to have something that people notice.
