Webcam image is horizontally flipped
Hi,
When you see your selfview in Teams it will be flipped, so it is easier for you. But when the other participants in the meeting see your video they will see it the correct way. So text will be mirrored for you but the correct way for others.
The video recording of the meeting we just had is the correct way round bizzarely!
Had to test it now so they did't change it but the picture is mirrored in my selfview but the other side see the picture correct and it is correct in the Stream recording. As it should be.
I'm using the Windows client for Teams and I don't have any software installed for the camera that can change the picture, so all mirroring is handled by Teams.
- this is NOT how it should be
LinusCansby Are you talking about the image of the person or the background? One of my work teammates is using a football image for his background. The jersey names and numbers are clearly backwards.
jmcgowen Both the person and the background is mirrored in self view and correct for all other participants. Could it be that your teammate mirrored the image so it looked okay on their side? The background is also mirrored, so in the self view and preview all text should be mirrored. I wrote about it here:
the flipped/mirrored self view obviously does not make it easier. its making it very confusing for everyone
When is microsoft going to un-mirror the self view cause it doesn't help anyone?
I want to see in the self view, exactly what everyone else sees
