Please add a switch to toggle camera mirror mode.

Discord's camera is always mirror mode. When I show text on camera, the texts are reversed.

Please add the switch to toggle camera mirror mode.

 

I believe discord team. :>

    It's mirrored in Discord Desktop for Windows for me with no option to switch to normal.

    I've checked my webcam settings are set to normal, not mirrored.

    If I use ManyCam to grab the camera and select the ManyCam virtual webcam as the source in Discord, the image and the ManyCam watermark are mirrored.

    Agreed.  I have the same issue.  Please resolve this!

    This just happened to me on screen sharing (Desktop app for Linux 0.0.10 57589), very annoying because I cannot clearly see what I'm showing..

    No way to revert back to normal

    The source doesn't matters, the picture is always mirrored. If there would be a mirror option that would be no problem, but that way the camera option is useless.

    Yeah, this is super annoying. We can't even share our Xsplit feed into Discord for this reason.

    Yup, please add an option to mirror the camera feed. :)

    I have the same issue.

    Image is mirrored, which is extremely irritating.

    I also don't know where this bug comes from. For decades, I have never seen this issue with any of the cameras I've used. And in the past years it keeps appearing on various platforms independently, especially on smartphones.

    This is happening for me on Windows with the May 14 release, I'm feeding it with an NDI Input but other viewers say the video is correct at their end. It's only the preview which is being flipped, it seems. It's still really annoying.

    Same issue: windows 10, Logitech webcam C270

    I'd really like to point the camera at a whiteboard and keep making continuous drawings but It's very difficult to write words mirror style.  Also, players saying "left" and "right" needs to be reversed.  Altogether, it's kind of a mess.

    I tried to somehow configure the camera itself, and it does have settings like white balance and brightness, but nothing for mirror.  It appears the application program must control mirror-ness.

    I *can* instead run a camera app, and screen-share that app, but I was hoping to use the screen-share function for something else.

    Same problem, considering how easy it should be to just implement a 'mirror' toggle I'm surprised this has been an issue for more than a month.

    Also looking forward to this being implemented.

    I'm using a Camlink 4K for streaming (as a webcam) as well as an ATEM Mini desk occasionally, and it is annoying for both.

    Same issue with the video mirrored horizontally for Capture Card, WebCam, and FaceRig.

    this shouldnt be hard to fix and the first instance of this was a year ago, someone do something :/

    This seems to be an intentional "feature" with no option to change it.

    Please give us an option to disable/toggle/change that setting!

    Its really hard to simply grab my webcam and show someone something because I cant even read what im looking at on the camera preview if theres text and its really awkward to move the camera around that way!

    Guys, come on now. Mirrored mode, please.

    +1.  This is really annoying (and unexpected!) behavior.

    I should point out though that the mirroring apparently only affects the preview, not the camera view that others see.  I was flipping my webcam using Logi Capture to compensate until someone complained that my video was backwards.

    Same. Super annoying

    This is very frustrating.  I cannot use Discord for video because of this.  Seems silly to provide a feature but no user interface for it ;_; .
