Hide self view in video call
So for example when I'm in a video call and I have the video feed on pop-up mode, I'd like to be able to see the person's feed without seeing my own camera feed in the corner.
- I want to hide my camera feed from myself without disabling my camera
So far, I've found no way to actually hide my own camera feed in a video call besides showing members and then dragging the window past the edge of the screen, but that's a bit hacky and also kind of an edge fix. I'd like to be able to move the window around.
Hope this isn't too hard to implement! Cheers!
and thanks for developing this wonderful app and listening to users
I genuinely love Discord

Yes please!!!!

Yes! I often automatically shift to observe myself instead of looking the others. This feature would help!

It would be a nice nice feature to turn self view on or off.

If you could decide if you want to turn off or on would be great.

a good idea, I think.

Please, it would make it so much easier to see my friends' faces when I have the video chat as a small window at the top of my screen in a call

Bumping that up...

Please, please give us this option! Being forced to see myself is very distracting. A simple toggle to hide your local video would be very helpful.

I'd also love this feature. It's available in Zoom, so should totally be doable in Discord right?

Needed!

I agree, or at least a way to minimize my screen more because when i want the pop up to be a small screen in the corner while I'm doing something else. I can't see the other person because my face cam is so big it covers almost everything.

Using the pop-out window is currently a joke, and basically unusable as a proper "pop-out". I often use it to see people while playing games, so I want the window to be quite small. In that case however, when focussing on the other participant, my own video obstructs the view on most of incoming video.

Would love this too! I always make the popout video very small so I can do something without having the video obscure my work too much, but then my own video takes up 40% of the other person's video.
Please let me hide my own cam!

We really need this feature, especially now with server video. It would be very helpful in my weekly meetups with friends!

Please implement this!! If I want the pop out to be pinned in the corner of my screen, taking up as little space as necessary, the self-view is a major inconvenience.

Can we get a status update on this?
This is a very necessary feature.11 -

I currently have my video disabled for myself but i have no idea how this happened and I feel like its bugged, I have my cam on for others and my little tile for my cam has the disabled video icon on it.

I would love this! I end up staring and checking my hair and stuff the whole time otherwise.

Okay guys so this is a weird workaround buuuuut hear me out. If you open the windows camera app and screenshare just the app, to the other person it will look like normal video feed but you won't get the small overlay with your own feed :D

Agreed. We just held a multi-day convention and people commented it was fatiguing/distracting to see their own face for such long periods of time.

for a certain server i'm in, it won't let me see self view, actually, but others say they can see me. there's just the disabled video icon next to my profile picture, but if i focus on myself and minimize the call/go into a text channel when im on the call, i can see myself. if anyone has a fix please let me know!

Althought it's not explicitly mentioned in by OP having an option to disable Self view in Grid View would be great too!
I am often in a private call and the other party shares there screen as well as has video on and I would like just a side-by-side view of their feeds and not have to see my own ugly mug!

Any updates on this? Every other call software I've used has implemented this. I prefer Discord in every other way though so it'd be a shame if I had to use something else just because Discord hasn't implemented it

I think this is especially useful for people who multitask or just do something else while in a video call in popped out view. As I'm focusing on what I'm dong, I prefer to have the popped out window quite small, but then the video feed from my own camera covers up too much and I can barely see anything from others. Here's an image to illustrate:

Here to echo my support for this like those above. Seeing yourself all the time is extremely distracting when you're trying to pay attention to other people/things. As mentioned all other major video call platforms have this option (Zoom, Meet, etc.) and it would be so lovely to be able to utilize this very thing here that most of us use now for our personal lives (especially during quarantine).
