> "During videoconferencing, of course, you know how you look, since you can see yourself too," Walter-Terrill noted. "But on a call with dozens of people, you may be the only one who doesn't know how you sound to everyone else: you may hear yourself as rich and resonant, while everyone else hears a tinny voice."

Not quite! You don't really know how you look, because you see yourself before transmission.

Yeah I can't really blame people for not realising they have shitty mics and shitty internet because it's really hard for them to tell! Basically the only way is to start a meeting, record it, and then watch it back. But what a faff!

Why is there no "play me back but delayed" test meeting option?

Apparently Zoom has this but I'm using Google Meet at the moment... Their answer is "ask someone else". No really.

Some apps also show you mirrored image for some reason, so everyone else is seeing a mirror image of what you see.

Yes indeed. This is because it's very disconcerting to see yourself non-mirrored.
