Why can't I see myself on Zoom calls?

[Time40]

I was just reading this article about "Zoom fatigue", which mentions the psychological effects of spending a long time looking at images of oneself:

www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/feb/27/how-to-avoid-zoom-fatigue-during-covid-pandemic

... and it struck me that the image of myself on my Zoom calls is a tiny, tiny thing at the top of screen. It's so small that I can't actually see it in any detail. All I see properly is images of the people I'm talking to. Does anyone know why that is? I am supposed to be able to see myself? TIA

Do you have it on speaker view rather than gallery view?

I have no idea! I'll check. Thank you.

Speaker view will show the person speaking in full screen and everyone else will be in a small box. Gallery view (which I prefer) shows everyone in medium boxes and highlights the speaker with a green box around their square.

Thanks, amusedbush.
