(Pocket -Lint) - If you have come to this page, you are probably trying to understand why, when you see yourself during a zoom call, everything you see in your zoom video is in Lenvers, with elements like the text andThe patterns of clothing appearing in the wrong direction.The same thing will happen in Google Meets and Microsoft Teams.

So what's going on and how did you solve this problem?Any dabord, you must understand what is going on.

It's all about mirror

There is no need to panic because your video is not really in Lenvers.When these people at the other end of the call see you, you look at exactly as you should.This means that all the text is in the right direction.

Essentially, to solve this problem, you have nothing to do at all, because it is only the preview of yourself in the video you see who is in the wrong direction.

Indeed, mirroring is activated by default when using zoom and other services.You can test this by shaking your hand to shake your hand - the mirror setting will see you and your video image, reaching out of the same hand.This is how you know that mirroring is activated.It is also reflected in Teams, Skype and Google Meets.

Why is mirroring used?

A mirror image presents the view of yourself that you have thehabit to see.You see it every morning when you look at the mirror.When it is sagit to present, it is much easier for you to understand what is going on, giving much more natural results thanks to the mirror.

Without mirroring in your Daperçu window, when you reach the left, you will see yourself reaching the right and it is confusing.You immediately think that you do it in Lenvers, because it is not what you expect to see and you try to correct it.It is a phenomenon that only happens with the video where you can see, which we only deal with for a few decades.

The important thing to understand is that people at the end of the line are not seated for you, they are actually sitting in front of you.When you see their sight - the view without mirror - is like an experience out of the body.This is something you never see, that's why mirror is used.

It is not only limited to videoconferencing, but it's just that videoconferencing shows you what you do while other situations do not do it.Think of a teacher who stands in front of a Sil class says "look on the left", all the students look to the left, but it is actually to the right of Lenseignant, because they stand opposite.You will probably have seen this in gymnastics courses, where linstructurer says "move to your left" then walk to their left, which is your right.

Do not panic: all the text is in the right direction

The good news is that if you display text through the camera - perhaps by showing something you have written - the mirroring means that it looks back, when it seems normal for all the other participants in thevideo conference.Do not write anything upside down, because it will then be upside down.

Zoom, skype, teams, Google Meet all show you this mirror view, but everything for spectators is exactly as it should be, so do not change anything, do not give things in Lenvers, do not do things in Lenvers - instead, stop dy think, because you will make knots.

How to deactivate the mirror on Zoom

Zoom is (currently) the only platform that will allow you to deactivate mirror.If you find it too confusing -maybe if you spend a lot of time presenting text as an online tutor -you can deactivate mirror in the video settings.

Here's how to proceed:

1. Depuis la fenêtre de votre conférence dans Zoom, cliquez sur la flèche vers le haut sur le bouton vidéo.
2. Cliquez sur les paramètres vidéo - cela ouvrira la fenêtre des paramètres.
3. Cliquez sur "Mettre en miroir ma vidéo" et voyez quelle vue vous convient le mieux.

Where is the mirror in the mirror?

The mirror is very common on the selfie cameras.Again, they present a view that you generally do not see, that is to say someone who looks at you, so the images you see on a selfie camera are reflected, instead of what the camera really sees.

You can test this for yourself with the handshake test mentioned above.If you manage to shake hands with your image, a mirror image sees you both raising your hand on the same side, so that you cannot shake hands, so to speak.

There is generally an option in smartphones to record either mirror striking that you see in lapevous, or an inverted version, what a person standing in front of you would have seen.Again, that wreaked havoc with lecture on the clothes, where the brands are in Lenvers if you save mirror filing, which many people do.

This great system will save you time and efforts every time you pay.

This raises a much wider philosophical question to know who the selfies are taken: if you think that the mirror version is the right one, you take them for yourself;If you think that inverted filing is correct, you take it for someone.Are you a narcissistic selfie taker?

Again, do not think too much, because it will tie your head - but if you find that your selfies are always "in Lenvers", check the LapPareil photo settings on your phone and you will probably be able to modify it to get the result thatwant you.
