**Description** When I start the video with the option `mirrored = true`, my video is not mirrored correctly (when I raise my right hand, the opposite hand appears in the video) on iPhone. However, it works fine on other OS (Android, Windows, macOS, iPadOS). **Browser Console Error** No errors appear. **Which Web Video SDK version?** 1.11.10 **Device (please complete the following information):** - Device: iPhone 12 - OS: iOS 17.5.1 - Browser: Safari - Browser Version: Safari 17.5.1 ---

Hey @phuongnv1 Thanks for your feedback. There are some issues with the `mirror` option in the `stream.startVideo` method on certain platforms. Currently, a workaround is to call the `stream.mirrorVideo` method right after the `startVideo` method is resolved. Thanks Vic ---

Key @vic.yang I tried calling `stream.mirrorVideo` right after `startVideo`. Here is my code: `await stream.startVideo({cameraId, hd, originalRatio}); stream.mirrorVideo(true);` I noticed that the result didn’t change. Please help me check it. ---

Hey @phuongnv1 Sorry for the incorrect guidance. To be precise, `stream.mirrorVideo` should be performed after rendering the self-view. Thanks Vic ---

Hey @vic.yang Thank you for your feedback. I tried running `stream.mirrorVideo` right after `stream.renderVideo` or `stream.attachVideo`. However, I had to delay it by about 200ms for it to work (which doesn’t seem great from a UX perspective). When I turn off the camera and turn it back on (handling it the same way as above), it seems the `mirrorVideo` function doesn’t work. I want to ask if, when the user changes position or turns the camera off and back on, do I need to call the `mirrorVideo` function after rendering the self-view. Another approach is that I want to use CSS **(`transform: scaleX(-1)`** on the `video-player` element) to flip the video, but it doesn’t work. Thanks Phuong ---

Hey @phuongnv1 Thanks for your feedback. > When I turn off the camera and turn it back on (handling it the same way as above), it seems the `mirrorVideo` function doesn’t work. Perhaps when you detached the video, you also deleted the corresponding video player. So, the next time you attach the video, the video player is a new element, which means the original mirror effect won’t take effect. > Another approach is that I want to use CSS **(`transform: scaleX(-1)`** on the `video-player` element) to flip the video, but it doesn’t work. It only takes effect on certain platforms such as iOS. We recommend using `stream. mirrorVideo` method. Thanks Vic ---

Hey @vic.yang Thanks for your feedback, and sorry for my delayed reply. > Perhaps when you detached the video, you also deleted the corresponding video player. So, the next time you attach the video, the video player is a new element, which means the original mirror effect won’t take effect. I think this is not the root cause. When I run mirrorVideo on iPhone, an error is thrown from the SDK. ![error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/8/8/88b028bd885c5103f7d0a651cb68963da9674a7e.jpeg) This is my sessionId: hC7qVb4DSBSJQ50CyW4cAA== Please check for me.

Hey @phuongnv1 Thanks for sharing the session ID with us. > hC7qVb4DSBSJQ50CyW4cAA== After analyzing the logs for this session, we identified a known issue: the `loadedmetadata` event for the video tag was not triggered. > **[HTMLMediaElement: loadedmetadata event - Web APIs | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement/loadedmetadata_event)** > > The loadedmetadata event is fired when the metadata has been loaded. We rely on this event to determine whether the video can play. Can I confirm whether the self-view also had an issue when this problem occurred? We are continuously looking for ways to fix this issue. Thanks Vic ---

Hey @vic.yang > Can I confirm whether the self-view also had an issue when this problem occurred? When this error occurs, I see that the self-video still works normally. I hope you will have the latest fix for this issue. Thanks Phuong ---
