MORE THAN A STILL IMAGE
The world changes.
Your background should too.
Morning light stretches across the floor. The sun moves over the lake. Evening settles in, and the room grows quieter.
Daylight blends complete scene images with different sunlight, shadows, reflections and weather. Choose your own conditions, or let the app follow the time and weather where you are.
Your whole setup, ready.
Save the background, atmosphere, webcam, lighting, quality and overlay choices you use together, then switch setups from Studio or Floating Controls.
Step away without a hard cut.
Freeze the complete frame or hold a five-second video loop. Captures stay in memory, record no audio and disappear when you resume or clear them.
Find the right background fast.
Search across built-in, imported, created and shared backgrounds. Add favorites, group them into collections and keep the organization on your computer.
See what your system can sustain.
Choose a quality mode, enable up to 60 fps and run a 30-second local Call Health check while your meeting is open.
Your camera stays with you.
Background removal happens on your computer. Weather lookup, an account and cloud background creation are optional, and your microphone stays in your meeting app.
THE CURRENT DAYLIGHT STUDIO
More control.
Still calm.
Daylight now covers the full background workflow: choose or create a space, organize it, preview the result, bring it into a call and share finished packs when you want to.
STUDIO AND LIVE OUTPUT
One place for the whole call.
Start the webcam and virtual camera, save a setup, tune the atmosphere and pause live video without leaving Studio.
- Freeze your video or record a five-second loop while the background keeps updating
- Use Floating Controls while Daylight is hidden
- Add optional scene-matched foreground lighting and time or weather labels
MY BACKGROUNDS
Every source, one library.
Search built-in scenes, connected folders, imported .daylight files, personal creations and team downloads together.
- Favorite backgrounds and group them into local collections
- Filter by source without losing saved organization
- Download, remove, use or export complete adaptive packs
OPTIONAL AI CREATION
Create, preview, then approve.
Describe a background for one credit or add a private reference photo for two. A newly verified account begins with two credits.
- Review the proposed frame before the full pack is made
- Preview your locally segmented camera against the proposal
- Request up to two included revisions, then approve 30 conditions
BRAND KITS
Keep the frame recognizably yours.
Save a local logo, colors and material notes. Use the exact logo as a video overlay or guide a new background with the palette and style.
- Choose logo position, size, opacity and an optional white backdrop
- The exact logo overlay stays on your computer
- Brand colors can guide creation without inventing lettering
TEAM LIBRARIES
Share the finished pack, not the private work.
Invite a verified teammate and explicitly share completed cloud packs. Personal prompts, reference photos, credits and brand kits stay outside the library.
- Sharing and downloading use no extra credits
- Owners manage members, invitations and shared packs
- Verified downloads work offline and can be exported
CALL HEALTH
Choose quality with evidence.
Measure capture, background removal, preview rendering and virtual-camera delivery during a real meeting load.
- Balanced, more-detail and low-power modes
- Standard 30 fps or high-motion delivery up to 60 fps
- A bounded diagnostic report with no video, location, weather, email or meeting details
Living windows
Try an animated window with time, weather and optional local face-driven perspective.
Your own files
Connect a folder without copying it, import portable packs and export backgrounds you can keep.
Credit history
See available, reserved and used credits with clear entries for rewards, purchases and creation activity.
Verified downloads
Daylight checks pack and image digests before installing a personal or shared adaptive background.
The core camera, hosted scenes, local backgrounds, Saved Spaces and pause controls work without an account. An optional verified-email account is used for private cloud creation, credits and Team libraries.
