Why does my video appear mirrored?
We've worked hard to make Camo seamless, but in some cases it's difficult to comprehensively work around things that video conferencing products do.
In particular, some video conferencing apps mirror a user's video feed (ie. they flip it horizontally, left to right) when previewing it locally. This means that users might be transmitting something different to what they're seeing.
Here's what you should bear in mind:
Camo always shows you what it's transmitting. If you choose to mirror or rotate your feed in Camo, what you see is what we pass off to any video apps you're using. When it's your video feed, Camo never disconnects what you see from what other people see.
Zoom defaults to mirroring your own video in its preview but not to the other people you're on a call with. As such, people you're talking to will see you are you are in Camo Studio, but not as you are in Zoom. At least, not unless you untick the Video → Mirror my video setting in Zoom.
When Camo needs attention or needs to indicate its status in a way that affects the video feed — no device is connected, the video is paused, or Camo Studio isn't running — we try to indicate that in a sensible way, with text that can be read in both orientations.
