  • At the bottom of the settings window, you’ll see a small box. Click that box and pick the most consistent green on the Webaround.
  • Ensure that you have proper lighting. Ideally, you’ll have two lights pointing at 45° angles. Lighting helps provide a more even color across the board, which leads to a better chroma key.

All chroma key settings will differ from user to user. Individuals using chroma key should take time to tweak their setting based on their lighting and environment.
