Google Meet is a widely used video conferencing tool that enables people to communicate from different locations. Nonetheless, a frequent problem encountered by users is the camera mirroring functionality. Google Meet lacks an inherent feature to reverse the camera feed either horizontally or vertically by default. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to mirror your Google Meet camera feed.
Step 1: Open Google Meet
To start, open your web browser and go to meet.google.com. Sign in with your Google account if prompted.
Step 2: Join a Meeting or Create a New One
Once you are on the Google Meet homepage, you can either join an existing meeting by clicking on the “Join” button and entering the meeting code, or create a new meeting by clicking on the “New meeting” button. If you are creating a new meeting, you will be prompted to enter a meeting name and choose whether to require a meeting password.
Step 3: Access the Camera Settings
Once you have joined or created a meeting, click on the three dots in the bottom right corner of your video preview box. From the drop-down menu, select “Settings” to access the camera settings.
Step 4: Enable Camera Mirroring
In the camera settings window, you will see an option labeled “Mirror my video.” Click on this option to enable camera mirroring. You should now see your video preview flipped horizontally.
Step 5: Adjust Camera Orientation
If you want to adjust the orientation of your camera, you can do so by clicking on the “Advanced” button in the camera settings window. From there, you can select from various options such as landscape or portrait mode.
Step 6: Save Your Changes
Once you have made any desired adjustments to your camera settings, click on the “Save” button to apply your changes. You should now see your video preview mirrored in Google Meet.
Conclusion
By following these simple steps, you can easily make your Google Meet camera mirrored. This feature can be particularly useful for those who prefer to see themselves as others see them or for individuals who need to check their appearance during a meeting. Remember to save your changes after making any adjustments to ensure that your settings are applied.
