About this tag
Windows Edge Light is an open-source utility that turns your monitor into a soft, adjustable edge light for video calls, inspired by Apple's ring light feature. Created by Microsoft VP Scott Hanselman, it works with Zoom, Teams, Discord, and other webcam apps to improve front fill lighting. The tool is lightweight and may eventually become a PowerToys module. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover how it works, its practical benefits for video call hygiene, and security considerations before using an overlay that brightens your face by lighting the screen edges.
