It seems that if you turn off the virtual background by selecting None, the camera will flip around to Mirror.
Why is my Zoom video backwards and how do I fix it?
(Pocket-lint) – If you’ve come to this page, you’re probably trying to understand why, when you see yourself on a Zoom call, everything you see in your Zoom video is backwards, with things like text and clothing motifs appearing the wrong way round. In essence, to fix this problem, you don’t have to do anything at all, because it’s only the preview of yourself in the video that you see that looks the wrong way round. When it comes to presenting it’s a lot easier for you to understand what’s going on, giving much more natural results thanks to mirroring. It’s a phenomena that only really arises with video where you can see yourself, which is only something we’ve been dealing with for a couple of decades.
If you’re finding it all too confusing – perhaps if you spend a lot of time presenting text like an online tutor – then you can turn off mirroring in the video settings. There’s usually an option in smartphones to save either the mirrored image that you see in the preview, or a flipped version which is what a person standing opposite you would have seen.
Again, it plays havoc with writing on clothing, where brands are backwards if you save the mirrored image, which many people do. Dashlane can keep your employees’ passwords safe By Pocket-lint Promotion · 23 August 2022 If you’re concerned about your organisation’s security, this is a no-brainer.
Again, don’t think about it too much, because it will tie your head in knots – but if you find your selfies are always “backwards”, check the camera settings on your phone and you can probably change it to get the result you want.
iPad’s new zooming-video feature for Zoom and FaceTime: How it works, how to turn it off
One well-known thing about iPads: They’re used for Zooms and video chats all the time, but their front-facing cameras aren’t ideally placed. Much like other auto-zooming cameras like Facebook Portal, Center Stage follows a person’s face around as they talk. It works by starting with a wider-angle video camera capture (122 degrees) and then zooming in digitally as needed.

Turning off Center Stage just reverts the camera to a non-moving view of your face.
Weirdly, Apple’s iPadOS doesn’t natively support it in the camera app for recording videos — at least, not so far. That’s how most people use iPads for video chat, since most keyboards and stands also work in landscape mode.
On my early review unit iPads, I found Center Stage sometimes caused calls to stutter, or the feature started turning on and off.
How to Mirror My Video in Zoom
Zoom is how many teams conduct virtual meetings. For some people, however, watching themselves in the preview screen in a Zoom call is disorienting.
In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know and why you should mirror your video in the first place. We’ll also answer some burning questions related to the topic.
If you’re using the Zoom client on your favorite browser, you can mirror your image through the settings. Here are the steps for mirroring your Zoom image on the web client.
When the small window pops up, select “Video” on the left sidebar. For those who prefer to use the Zoom app on their mobile devices, fret not. Tap “Settings” on the bottom right corner if you’re logged in, the top left if you’re not. As the Android version has a different look to the interface, we’ll include the instructions here as well. Tap “Settings” on the bottom right corner if you’re logged in, the top left if you’re not. Sadly, Zoom doesn’t have a feature for broadcasting your mirrored video to others in the meeting.
The good news is, once you set things up, Zoom should be able to detect virtual webcams. The menu usually contains a real camera, but after setting up a virtual webcam, it will appear among the options. You don’t have to end a meeting just to un-mirror your video or turn it on. Simply head to the settings during a meeting and locate the option to mirror your video.
