Reducing/eliminating whiteboard specular glare

What are the most efficient and high-quality methods you would recommend for reducing/eliminating the three areas of whiteboard specular glare in this video? The spot near my head might be particularly challenging since my head moves into and out of that area during the video.

You generate the background by going to File > New > Color Matte and creating a clip with the color and luminance value you want. Or if you want a more complex background you can create it in Photoshop and import it into Premiere.

With your video on the track above the background on the timeline, garbage matte most of the scene as described in my first post:

Then add the luma keyer and the (inverted) protection mask:

I didn't watch a whole lot of your sample video, if you pretty much stay in the same position in frame you can use a static protection mask, if you move around a great deal, then you will likely want to have the mask track you, but this will be time consuming.

One way:

Replacement background on V1, your video on V2.

On V2, use the mask under opacity to draw a loose oval around your body to get rid of most of the video background.

Then apply a Luma Key to the clip on V2 and adjust Threshold and Cutoff of the effect to eliminate the rest of the background, while preserving your image.

Using the mask under the Luma key effect, use the pen tool to draw a shape that includes your eyes, mouth and t-shirt. Invert that mask so it protects those areas from being keyed. You may need to track that matte if you move around a great deal:

    Cool! Any chance you could share the .prproj file for this? I like how you were able to make the background uniform, but not too bright -- and without interfering with my appearance. If this tracks well, it could be a good solution.
