Mirrored screen in meeting

I'd like to broadcast a lecture with external cameras and the presenter screen but I just get it all in mirrored screens.  Where do I change this settings in Teams/ W10?

    The picture you see is mirrored but the video picture that others see from you will be correct. Can be confusing when you don't know this and just see your own and read text backwards.

     

    There is no setting to change this in Windows 10 and if you have software that can switch it on your side it will be mirrored on attendees side instead.

    It is beyond belief that I can't change this mirror setting. It is almost impossible to present physical items and read them when all I can see is the mirror image. Unless this is fixed I will have to find a completely different software package to manage my meetings. This is ridiculous! Do these statements go anywhere at Microsoft, or am I just wasting time?

    LinusCansby Thanks, so just to be clear, when I hold up alphabet cards my 2nd graders are seeing them correctly even though they look backwards to me? Right?

        StevenC365  Thanks Steven , I just tried it with 2 monitors and weirdly it works. The letters show up correctly on the monitor where I'm not presenting:)

      wenwen822HaHa…...that's good.  I guess Teams is not intender for learn/teach from home otherwise Microsoft would have added a feature to allow non-mirrored preview. ……. 🤣

    But my screen is connected to a LED screen. It is not beautiful for the audiences in the meeting. even prime minister is also joint the meeting. LinusCansby

      Beekhang2450 The participants in the meeting will see your video the correct way, not mirrored. I'm not sure about how you have your setup, you are using a LED screen but how is this related to the mirrored self view?

        Hi Linus,

         

        The participants in the meeting room also see mirrored image because I connected to LCD Screen.  You can see my LCD screen. I used Logitech Rally camera LinusCansby

    Helpful, and thank you.

    But Microsoft, really? That's your answer?
