When you view your video feed in a Teams meeting, you see your camera view as if you are looking in a mirror. Participants do not see the mirror image. But if you are using a prop with text, displaying a background filter with text or wearing something with text, that text appears flipped to you in your camera view. If you prefer, you can unmirror your video feed to match what participants see.

Upon Joining the Meeting

1. As you join a meeting, you are prompted to choose your video and audio settings. To unmirror your video feed, click or tap the settings gear icon.
   
   
   
   
2. The Device settings panel appears on the right. If needed, scroll down in the panel to see the "Mirror my video" setting. By default, "Mirror my video" is on. 
   
   
   
   
3. Click or tap "Mirror my video" so the switch goes from purple/on to black/off. In the upper right, close Device settings by clicking or tapping the "x" icon.
   
   
   
   
4. The Devices settings panel closes. Your video feed preview shows the same view that Teams meeting participants see.
   
   
   
   
5. Click the Join Now button to join the meeting.
