I mentioned this to my wife a few weeks ago. I rarely look at myself for long in the mirror but spending an hour at a time in a video call where you see your own face can get to you (me).

I don't know why there isn't an option to hide yourself from your own screen, or is there?

I was on a long call yesterday and switched on 'focus on content' to get rid of the faces, but then new people turned up in the call and I didn't realise they were on. It didn't matter in that case but it would have been good to know.
