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?

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,

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.
Interesting idea: Try the link and not the JOIN button. I will be giving that a try. Thank you! - W
I'm not sure why or how, but I think it might have something to do with the way various tech is integrated. I can have someone create a meeting (in my enterprise) and on the appointment it has a link that says "Join Microsft Teams Meeting" and it will open teams and join the meeting. It's almost like they setup the meeting while logged into an account other than the one used in our enterprise...or maybe they weren't authenticated at the time or something. In those cases, it's messed up, no self view, in fact there is no "Join" button in the Teams calendar view. I *must* use the link in the appointment to join. Which is weird because it is still on the calendar.
It seems that whenever I am able to join a meeting using the "Join" button on the calendar, everything works as normal, self view is present, everything is good.
Why some meetings on the calendar have a join button and others are missing it, and only have a link inside the appointment, I do not know. My guess is it has something to do with how the meeting scheduler scheduled it and/or what kind of an account they have.
