Infinite Screens & Mirror Effects

Infinite screens#

Sharing a screen that is visible will create an infinite effect just like when you are looking at yourself in a mirror inside an elevator. It looks like this:

Don't worry this is not a bug, it's a well-known effect that happens on every software. When you change tabs or apps people won't see this effect anymore :)

In order to prevent this effect you have two options:

• Use an extra monitor for your screen sharing.

• Share an "Application window" instead of your entire screen. This way you won't be getting the mirror effect.

Starting from  Chrome version 72, you can also share a Chrome tab, instead of an application window or your entire screen. If you choose to share a tab other than your webinar room, you won't get the mirror effect :) 

My camera is inverted#

In web-conferencing when you are turning on your webcam, the written elements on the scene (a logo in the background for example) are inverted to mimic a mirror.

Will my attendees get the same effect?

No. They will get the stream with the correct background. 

Picture this: a mirror shows you an inverted image, but  the attendee will see you as if they were in front of you.
