Turn video mirroring off or on

« To Host role: Details

By default, video mirroring is enabled in the studio. This flips your video horizontally, similar to how you see your reflection in a mirror. To disable video mirroring, follow the steps below.

NOTE:
Whether you have mirroring turned on or off, participants always see your video without mirroring. The recorded video track is also not mirrored.
