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.
I have been helping my mom to conduct her math lessons with whiteboard, and experienced the same problem. The writing was flipped. I tried Google Hangouts and Teams, and even though I could rotate the view on the USB camera software, this would not replicate in the Hangouts or Teams clients, which was very frustrating. I ended up using Zoom, because the desktop client has a rotate button in the Camera settings, allowing you to adjust the view so that the students don't need to read backwards. The downside is that the free account has a 40mins cap for group meetings, but it is the only app which solved the rotation problem. Hope Microsoft will look into this asap.
No one needs to read backwards in Teams, it will show you a preview that is mirrored as that's more normal to look at when it's your video, but specifically other people will see your video the normal way round. Just ignore the preview!
