What gives? Why is everything in the wrong order? By default, zoom videos will be mirrored because it gives the impression of being more natural to see one’s own reflection when viewed in this manner. The other participants continue to see you in your natural, non-mirrored state. You have the option to turn off the mirroring feature, although doing so can be confusing and requires some practice to get used to.
