Hi! In Microsoft Teams during the video calls I can't see myself in the viewfinder. Everyone else can see me in the chat but I don't have the little mini video of myself in the corner. Anyone know how to turn it on?

Interesting - although I downloaded it and tried to run it (I may not have full admin access) - it worked and fixed both the self monitor image and the ability to turn the camera off. Thank you!!
I've been able to see myself for quite a while now during each video call. This morning I experienced the same thing where I wasn't able to see myself in the bottom right hand corner. Turns out the solution ( for myself at least, ) was that my "Turn Camera Off" option was toggled on for some reason. All I had to do was toggle the option back to the Camera On mode, that fixed it right away.
Hoping it's this simple for others on here.
Stay safe all ~
I had the same problem. Also, couldn't switch off the camera during the call. It was forcefully ON.
Later while using the teams app, I saw a notification on top of the window saying
"There is a 64-bit version available for your device. Download?"
I clicked on the 'Download' and it installed another teams app. I can now see my own video, switch off camera as I like in the new app.
For your identification here is how the icons of those two apps look like. the one on bottom gave me problems. The one on top is 64 bit and works well
Hope this solves your problem.

We solved the problem uninstalling the integrated camera driver and reinstalling it and restarting the laptop.
Be sure to have it because at times the device manager is not able to detect the camera by itself. In this case you have to install the correct driver manually.
Could someone from Microsoft please look into this issue. It clearly is one. My staff member has just reported that this has started to happen to her now. At the moment she is the only one in our Teams Tenant has the problem. People can see her in Teams Meetings which indicates that the camera is on, but she no longer gets the self camera view in the bottom right corner.
For her, this makes it difficult, especially at the moment with being in Lockdown in New Zealand, for her to work with her young clients (she is a social worker). She needs to be able to see what she's holding up to show them to make sure it's in view.
The screen shot I've added show the self viewer working on my laptop. On hers there is not self view when having meetings.
We really like using Microsoft Teams - it has some really awesome features but if this starts to happen to everyone we will have to reconsider our options.
