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.
Jesse_Litton I am as confused as I was before. Maybe you can solve my problem...sounds like you had a eureka moment. I am trying to use my Lumix DSLR as my webcam. I have a converter that allows the Lumix to be recognized by Teams/Skype as my webcam. But as noted in this thread, the image appears flipped on my Teams window, along with everything else in the image (furniture, etc.). I must assume the image shown on my Teams window is the same as what other people see. Is that incorrect? Are others seeing a "normal" version of the image?

In the video recording as well as the live stream that everyone else sees other than you, they see everything the proper way...
Thanks KarriemL . I did a test from another account and indeed it appears normal to the external viewer. I guess we're so used to seeing the mirror version in the webcam view that we don't think much about it. But when I pipe another source, like computer software running on a laptop, through that converter (also seen by my computer as a webcam), it would be nice if it wasn't reversed. But at least now I know the converter/capture card isn't doing something.
