    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.

@all, I have quite the opposite problem -- the webcam image where I see myself is NOT mirrored.

I find this incredibly disturbing because I believe that I look terrible (this happens to many people when they see themselves NOT mirrored, as they are used to in the mirror).

I have a Logitech HD webcam. So where can I set this up in order for ME to see myself MIRRORED?

Thanks heaps

      Thanks Linus,

       

      that worked. I had to download the Logitech Capture software for this

      https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/capture

       

      ...because the older LogiDPPApp.exe driver that seems to have been installed automatically by Windows Plug and Play (when plugging in the camera for the first time) wouldn't have that feature:

      Now at least I look somewhat less terrible on my own screen.

       

      Cheers

        I've been searching for a solution to the mirrored image problem and, so far, have drawn a blank. My situation might be a little unusual because I have been a television presenter since 1982 and am very used to seeing myself on a monitor as viewers see me. I really don't want to be flipped horizontally, vertically, diagonally or any other way! Surely the app should have a mirror toggle, as Zoom does, to allow users the choice? Can it be so difficult to implement?
