How to Disable Mirroring of Video on Zoom Cloud Meeting?

In the face of recent overwhelming scenarios, where people are full-time home-bound, it has become drastically difficult for many people to continue their work or pursue their career options.

Thus, holding meetings, sessions, classes completely online is a necessity that can not be avoided.
Among many online meeting applications, where teachers, counselors can hold their classes, Zoom cloud meeting is one of the remarkable platforms to conduct digital mass gatherings.

But one issue has recently been tossed in various online groups. That is how to disable mirroring of videos in zoom while conducting classes.
Let me explain it properly……

When you are conducting a class using zoom with the help of the front camera of your Android phone or laptop, the video turns out to be laterally inverted, exhibiting left side to be right side and vice-versa.

It creates a hell of a lot of problems for those who prefer to teach or write on a board using a front camera. Though the issue doesn’t appear with the back camera.

Now, there is a very simple solution to the issue. You just have to disable the mirroring video option from the application settings.
Here in this article, we will show you how to do that both on Android phones and laptops.
