Microsoft Teams is configured to show you a mirrored view of your video feed, although other participants in the meeting see the unmirrored feed. To have the same feed as others, you will have to flip the camera in Microsoft Teams!
For anyone wondering why Microsoft Teams flips the camera video in your feed, it’s to provide you with a more familiar experience, as if you are looking in a mirror. This also causes issues, especially when you are presenting something, because all the characters on your feed appear inverted, making them illegible and necessitating the need to flip the webcam feed.
How can I flip the camera on Microsoft Teams?
1. Via Teams’ meeting settings
1.1 At the start
1.2 While in the meeting
As soon as you disable theMirror my videosetting, the camera’s video feed appearing at your end will be the same as that shown to the other participants. However, theMirror my videosetting is only available for accounts linked to organizations and not on personal Microsoft Teams accounts.
2. Using a third-party app
If theMirror my videosetting is not available in Microsoft Teams, or you want to flip the camera feed visible to other participants, using athird-party webcam softwarewill do the trick!
Many third-party software offer the ability to flip the camera on a software level, thus showing a mirror image of your feed even to others. Similarly, if Microsoft Teams, for some reason, shows a mirrored video feed to others, you can un-mirror it using a dedicated software.
All you have to do is select the feed from the downloaded app in Microsoft Teams and then make the changes at the app level. To do that, open theDevice settingsfor a meeting > choose the app from theCameradropdown menu.
