When setting your virtual background, you will notice the image is mirrored. This mirroring is only on your end; it is meant to make you more comfortable, as it mimics your experience of standing in front of a mirror. On the participants' screens, your image is not mirrored.

Attached to the Start/Stop video button is a caret. Click on the caret to expand the menu. Click on Change virtual background.
