How to Flip Yourself or Background Image in Microsoft Teams?
Even though Microsoft doesn’t offer an option to reverse the image within the Teams app, which would have been a better solution, there’s a way to reverse yourself or the background image for your Microsoft Teams call.
Method 1 – Reverse the Background Image in Microsoft Teams
One easy and simple method to fix the reverse background image in Microsoft Teams is to flip the image before you set to upload it to Teams. You can flip the image using any software, even if you can use the default photos app of Windows PC. Here’s how to do it.
1. Locate the image on your PC that you want to set as a background in Microsoft Teams.
2. Open the image, click on Edit and Create, then choose Edit (or directly right-click and select Edit with Photos).
3. Press the Flip button located on the right toolbar menu.
4. Click on Save a Copy (or you can replace the original image by clicking Save from the drop-down menu).
Now, launch Microsoft Teams on your computer to initiate or join a meeting. Go to background filters, and upload the image you just reversed. You can also apply the image as background after joining the meeting.
Note: If you want to show an image with some text written on it. Then, do not flip the image; the text will appear right to you, but it will appear flipped to the person on the other side.

2. Click on the Settings Icon (Or Go to Device Settings if you have already joined the meeting).

5. Click on the Settings Icon from the CyberLink Toolbar.
6. Check the Flip Horizontally Box under camera settings. Then click OK.

Wrapping Up
So these are the 2 Ways you can flip yourself or even flip the background in Microsoft Teams. Do keep a note that your preview window is a mirrored image, as it will appear flipped to you, but the person(s) on the other end will be able to see it correctly on their screens, so don’t try to flip any image with text on your end. Because if you do, then the text will appear flipped to the other person(s) in the meeting.
