Can't see myself on the viewfinder during the call

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?

    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.

    George - I concur with Attila, your response is not correct. 

    My colleagues can see themselves using a near identical system that I am (Win 10 with intel i7).  

    Best regards,

    Wayne

    Hi Laura,

    Sorry this feature sill not available now, the low right corner self- displayed can be achieved at skype, but for now, you can't do that at Teams.

    If you have further concern, please let us know.

    Kind Regards,

    George

    Hi George,

    Your answer is absolutely incorrect. 

    All my colleagues can see themselves on the call in the corner, except for me. We all use the latest update of Microsoft Teams, same Windows 10 and enterprise settings on the same model of laptop. Yet, I cannot see myself, though they can see me fine. 

    There is no option to change this in the settings or clicking on the 3 dots for more option on the call. 

    Could you, please, advise to the problem correctly?

    Thank you,

    Attila

    Well kind of. In my case, it is broken when I only get the link and the Join button is missing. If there is a join button in teams, then it works every time.
