22 Nov (Updated) Mirror my video in Microsoft Teams
Now you will no longer have to see the text flipped. Imagine a scenario in which a primary school teacher has a small whiteboard in hand and is trying to teach school kids basic alphabets. Or imagine you have a virtual background with text in it. While the user on the other end of the meeting can see the text correctly, you see the text flipped. By providing you the option to un-mirror, you will be able to see the text correctly.
This feature will be helpful at the following locations:
- Gallery
- Large gallery
- Preview videos
- PowerPoint sharing – content only
- PowerPoint live
The feature will roll out for Windows and MAC desktop client.
