To stop mirroring your video on Zoom on your iPad, you'll need to adjust your video settings directly within the Zoom app. This ensures that what you see on your screen matches what other participants see, avoiding a "flipped" image of yourself.
Understanding Video Mirroring in Zoom
When "Mirror my video" is enabled in Zoom, your self-view appears as if you're looking into a mirror. This means if you raise your right hand, it appears on the right side of your screen. However, to other participants in the meeting, your video is not mirrored; they see your right hand on the left side of their screen, as expected. Disabling this setting simply makes your self-view consistent with what others perceive, helping you orient yourself accurately during a call.
Step-by-Step Guide to Stop Mirroring on Zoom iPad
Follow these simple steps to disable video mirroring on your iPad's Zoom application:
- Access Settings: While in a meeting or on the Zoom home screen, tap on the Settings icon. This icon is typically located in the top right corner of your screen and often looks like a gear or cog.
- Navigate to Video Settings: Within the Settings menu, look for and tap on the "Video" option. This section controls all your camera and video display preferences.
- Deselect Mirror my video: Find the option labeled "Mirror my video." You will see a checkbox or toggle switch next to it. Tap on this checkbox or switch to deselect it (ensure the checkmark disappears or the toggle is in the "off" position).
- Exit Settings: Once you've deselected the option, exit the Settings menu. You can do this by tapping on the close icon (often an "X" or an arrow pointing left) located in the top right or top left corner of the Settings screen.
After completing these steps, your self-view on your Zoom iPad will no longer be mirrored, aligning your perspective with that of other meeting participants.
