How to flip mirror image that others are seeing
On teams, I am seeing right image but the other person/people on call are seeing mirror image or flipped image. This makes my face look bigger on one side and is cause of constant embarrassment. Zoom...
- If 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.
In my case, I can only access the device setting "Mirror my video" button while in a meeting. I am using using an external USB camera. If I have not joined a meeting this option is not showing. I hope this helps.
It is a fairly new feature and if it's not available what I did was take the back ground and save it in a photo edit app and I was able to flip it there and then save it. I do find it odd, what was confusing me, is that when I view the photo or background it is reverse of what other's in the meeting see.
- Great suggestion. This worked for me. I don't see the mirror-my-video option on my 365-subscribed account. Don't know why.
Indeed, SAPDAN1056, the point is that Teams is showing you a mirror to make things like pointing, straightening your posture, and adjusting your position overall more intuitive. Others on the call see your video unmirrored, so you do NOT want to edit your background by flipping it horizontally. If you do, then, sure, you'll see your background unmirrored (forwards), but everyone else will see your background as mirrored (backwards). Hope this is helpful!
