# Turn off local preview mirroring
18+
19+
**We’re excited to announce the rollout of the turn off local preview mirroring feature for the native ACS calling experience**
20+
<br/>
21+
<br/>Meeting participants can now choose to stop mirroring their video preview—the small window showing how they appear during meetings.
22+
<br/>This is especially useful for situations like:
23+
<br/>✅ Virtual backgrounds with text – ensuring words appear correctly in your preview.
24+
<br/>✅ Teaching and presenting – making it easier to align your view with what participants see, reducing distractions when writing on a whiteboard or sharing content.
25+
26+
## Frequently Asked Questions
27+
1. What is the default setting?
28+
<br/> By default, your video will be mirrored to you. This matches the familiar experience of front-facing smartphone cameras. However, you can easily toggle mirroring off when joining a meeting.
29+
2. Does this affect my outgoing video?
30+
<br/> No, this setting only changes your personal view. Others will always see your video as intended, regardless of whether mirroring is on or off.
31+
4. When is this most useful?
32+
<br/> This feature is helpful in:
33+
<br/> - Gallery & Large Gallery views
34+
<br/> - Preview videos
35+
<br/> - PowerPoint content sharing & PowerPoint Live
36+
<br/> *These views mirror your self-view, but others still see your actual video.
