#### Ring light for video calls - your screen edges become a soft studio light

Look great on every video call - no extra hardware needed.

Screen Edge Light turns the edges of your monitor into a soft, adjustable ring
light that lights up your face for Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Discord, OBS and
streaming. It sits on top of everything and lets every click pass straight
through, so you keep working normally while it glows.

**Features**

* **Studio presets** - Soft Key, Warm Studio, Daylight, Cool and Candle, one click each
* **Studio Flood** - a wide, soft glow that actually casts light on you, or a classic thin glowing border
* **Spotlight** - instant full-brightness boost, one more click to go back
* **Color temperature** - from crisp cool daylight to warm candlelight
* **Brightness, spread, border thickness, distance from edge and corner roundness**
* **Auto day / night** - warmer and dimmer in the evening, bright and neutral at midday
* **Match screen colors** - tints the light to what's on your screen (X11 sessions)
* **Click-through overlay** - never blocks your desktop
* **Start on login** - your light is ready before your first meeting
* **Keyboard shortcut** - bind `screen-edge-light --toggle` to any key in Settings > Keyboard

All settings are remembered between sessions. Free and open source (MIT).

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install Screen Edge Light

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/screen-edge-light/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
