How do I cap my FPS?

Hey everyone 🙂
So here’s the situation: I’m using my built-in Toshiba camera for Zoom, and I rely heavily on the mirrored image setting. Ever since I upgraded my internet speed, the software keeps overriding my preference and flipping back to the non-mirrored view. Zoom insists this is happening because the resolution is too high, even though I make sure it's set to a modest 640x360 right when I launch the app.
The whole headache started the moment I bumped my connection up from 5 Mbps to 30 Mbps.

Is there any way to force the "mirrored image" setting to actually stay put?
And would limiting the Frames per second help resolve this?

Thanks a lot 🙂

(By the way, when I plug in my old Logitech webcam via USB, the "mirrored image" behaves perfectly fine and stays exactly how I set it.)

Download SplitCam and set Zoom to use that software as your camera instead. It lets you configure your actual camera settings exactly how you want them.

Thanks 🙂 I gave it a shot. But every time I try to tweak the settings, this app just forces open my Toshiba webcam configuration instead. It feels like I’m just running in circles at this point.

I honestly don't get why they can't just let the mirror image setting stay put. Is it really all because of some marginal boost in internet speed?

It definitely wasn't an internet issue. Maybe there was some kind of update, who knows?

The only thing that’s actually changed is the service provider and a faster connection speed. 🤷

And honestly, who even needs Zoom anymore? It is impossible to stay focused on a conversation when you can't see yourself clearly, almost like looking into a mirror. Good grief. 🤦

"Is there any way out of this? Any actual solution?" she pleaded, her eyes wide and desperate, looking for all the world like a wounded deer caught in headlights. 😁😁
