If I remember correctly, you have to change it from your actual webcam's settings, not WLMs webcam menu. The problem with this is, that it's only you that see the mirror images anyway, so by reversing it again, it's actually the wrong way around not only to your contacts, but in every other webcam application.

The mirror image is only shown to you as most people are used to seeing themselves in a mirror.....it's to help you show adjust your movements accordingly.  Your contact will be seeing things the correct way around.

If you also wish to see the non-mirror image view then click "Webcam settings" on the webcam page of the audio-video wizard and depending on your webcam there will be an "Advanced" tab where you can choose "Mirror Horizontal".

Then it won't be possible for you to change the view in WLM.

Rest assured that your contact sees the "correct" image, not a mirror image one.  The mirror image is only used as this is how people are used to seeing themselves and it makes it easier to move, etc
