How to flip mirror image that others are seeing
- Feb 05, 2021If 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.

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
- Mar 17, 2023The 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
