Not OP but sitting the presenter in front of a north facing window, positioning the laptop camera at eye level and giving them a well adjusted $70 mic provides an improvement over any badly positioned camera in mixed color temperature silhouetted lighting situation.

Why north facing window? I have a choice of southwest or northeast facing windows to put my office- which should I pick?

The one that does not get direct sunlight. North guarantees a diffused and somewhat constant illumination.
