Video Conferencing / Preview Window

Locked Video Conferencing / Preview Window

    Hi all,

     

    I have a question regarding "preview window" during the video conferencing session.

     

    If 2 users are in "video call" then only the "preview window" is mirrored to the user in Communicator. This is normally not an issue because the session is converted right to other participant.

     

    Is this behavior by design?

     

    Thanks

      Yes, this is by design.  Maybe it's because usability testers got dizzy when they saw themselves back as the camera does.

        Hi. Does anyone know if it is possible to switch this back, so I will not see myself mirrored? This behaviour is a problem for me, as I often uses the camera to show various papers to the other participant. The mirrored image makes it hard to focus on the correct text.

        Thanks
