How to flip mirror image that others are seeing
On teams, I am seeing right image but the other person/people on call are seeing mirror image or flipped image. This makes my face look bigger on one side and is cause of constant embarrassment. Zoom and Skype have toggle button to switch how other may be seeing you.
Please share how I can change how others are viewing my video. I believe this is a basic function and should be there somewhere .
Else, we would have to change the use of teams to zoom for entire organization.
- If your web camera software can flip the camera, that is your only option, Teams doesn't have the ability to do it in the app. I don't understand the issue, your face isn't going to be different on any video platform regardless of the flip.
im glad it's not just me. I look like I'm recovering from a stroke out here on these work calls in Teams deeeeeeeeeee
- peteypablo1069 yess!
I honestly thought it was just me.
I kept wondering what was wrong with my face??!! - Hilarious! (Yet, agreed!!)
Found a solution to this since May?
- Recently Teams introduced option to un-mirror their view and thereby see text correctly.
The default will be Mirror my video to on i.e. how currently the users see themselves without this feature (mirrored).To benefit from the un-mirrored view, users will have to set the toggle to Off.kathy deeeeeeeeeee KyriacosFiakkas ChrisWebbTech
Microsoft is introducing Mirror my video feature which provides user the option to un-mirror their video and thereby have the same view as the other users(s) in the meeting.
Standard release timeline: begin rollout in mid-November and expected to be complete by late January.
You can check the roadmap of this feature at: Microsoft Teams: Mirror my video

- I don't see this in the roadmap which means they already released it. However....I don't see this feature in my Teams desktop UI.

Let's think it through...... what if there is a company logo in the background? Best not to judge and just answer or not. 😉 ChrisWebbTech
Sorry this is from a year ago, but the comment about how your face isn't going to be different. It is. I have a half paralyzed face and if you don't flip the image the angles of the cameras regardless of your phone or webcam make it stand out. It is very embarrassing, people focus on it because it. So please in the future just be aware of what you say, because the original poster has valid feelings and is just looking for an option. Teams needs to get with the program and allow it the flip.
Thanks
- The image is an image regardless of what way it's flipped. If you want to come at me with it doesn't help with knowing what way you turn to show the "preferred" side of your face then that makes sense. But no sort of flipping etc. is going to change the pixels of a camera sensor image coming into your video platform.
That said, Teams now has a Mirror option you can turn on in settings while on a call. This will help with the relation of camera to what you are seeing so you know what way to turn (left is left vs Right etc.) It doesn't show the perspective participants see thou, but might be enough to help properly orient what you are trying to accomplish.
ChrisWebbTech The issue is that if you have a background image behind you with letters, they will be reversed
