Can't see myself on the viewfinder during the call

Thank you @JB_User1. Yes - I was wondering if it was platform or interface specific. I tried it and same problems: It seems to persist across all the platforms. (Deep sigh).

I may check some of the config files in c:\Users{Username}\Data\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams - specifically the settings.json file [[BE CAREFUL HERE]] - just to see if there is a TRUE/FALSE toggle. 

Be well.

Meaning you are accessing your teams meeting by click on the Teams link inside an appointment that you are viewing in Outlook Web?

I'm doing all three, the thick client, web, and directly accessing the meeting (when I can) using the calendar in MS Teams directly.

I wish I could pin down the missing self-view to a specific set of circumstances and/or criteria, but this beast is much more elusive.

Thank you, JB_User1. BTW - with this problem I am starting from Outlook Web, not the client. And you?

Yeah, same here. Very inconsistent. Nevertheless, I did discover why the "Join" button wasn't showing up. When a meeting is scheduled using a "Group" as the scheduler and not a person with an actual mailbox, I never get the "Join" button. When it's a person scheduling the meeting, I do. I was in one such meeting today and I got the self-view box!

I never realized how critical that box is, especially when working from home. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the blur background feature while video conferencing. The self-view is soooo helpful to ensure you remembered to turn on blur background and that you have the camera properly positioned At such close range it's easy to get it so it's cutting part of you off without even realizing it.

Mine teams seems to be temperamental, sometimes I can see myself on a call, other times I cannot, regardless of how many people are in the call. So Bizarre and frustrating.
