Zoom is the most popular video conferencing service today. Since the start of the pandemic, the company has seen exponential growth in its user base. To keep up with the growing number of users and their needs, Zoom occasionally introduces new features to the service. One old feature that has eluded many users is the ability to mirror your video feed. Let’s take a look at it.
How to Mirror Video on Zoom | Flip Left to Right
Most people look at themselves in a mirror, which is an inverted image of themselves. This image is often different than the actual image someone sees when they look back at you. While video feeds work the same way, it can often be jarring when you look at an unreflected image of yourself.
To combat this problem, services like Zoom offer the ability to mirror your video feed. This allows you to see yourself as your viewers on the video will see you: unmirrored.
This feature is most prominent in iPhones, where image mirroring is enabled by default. It is often credited as the Placebo reason that most Apple devices produce better selfies.
