    Unless you can find a way to mount a light to the top of your computer or your external camera, depending on what you use. I would recommend making FaceTime calls in a brighter environment. Try to find a room in your house, apartment, or office that has windows or ceiling lights that are bright enough. I hope this response helps answer your question. Let me know if you have any other questions. :-)

    Adding light to the room, or at least to your subject, and letting your Mac set the lighting automatically is the best solution.

     

    However, if for some reason you cannot use the best solution, use iGlasses add-on software.
