Question / Help Backwards Cam

[Larry Higgins]

Hi there, new to OSB but used to google hangouts. On OBS it appears everything is backwards, I move my hand on the right and on the screen its moving on the left , in Google hangouts it is not like this, I can flip the camera in OBS but when I do anything I show in print is backwards as if looking at a mirror, anyway to set this up as it is in hangouts ?

When I flip horizontal it looks fine and the way its supposed too however anything I show on cam that has print, well the letters are backwards, there must be a fix for this

So now that I know the terms more here is what I am looking for : mirror image on my side but it corrects itself on the viewers side, how can this be done ?

Waiting for this very same answer. It looks like a bug.

It is not a bug. What you view in the preview window is what is being encoded.

For the situation where you want a mirrored image for your own preview but encode a non-mirrored version, you can set up a drone scene. Create a new scene, and add a Scene Source. Select your original scene. Then, right-click on this, flip horizontally to get your mirror. Now, right-click on the scene and send it to a Projector (either as a full-screen instance or a window, depending on your use).

From there, you can go back to your original scene and you'll have the normal->stream / mirrored->self setup.

I really wish there was a way to just have an option for a mirrored projector, as this is something that is definitely useful. Also, this doesn't really allow for showing all scenes as you switch between them in that mirrored projector (it will only display the scene you've set up for this). The only way I know of to get around that is to use an NDI loopback, which is way more trouble than it's worth.

If anyone knows any better way to do that, I would love to know.

In Tools-> go to VirtualCam -> then look for "Horizontal Flip" if the check box is unchecked please check it and see in google meet it will work fine.

I would also like to have this feature. I record vlogs and it helps to see my image mirrored, but then in the published version, I need the image to be normal, without mirroring. So there is a need for the preview to be different from what is recorded.

It appears they also left out this setting for the Mac version that was recently released. Even 26.1.2 doesn't have it.
