# How can I set the mirror mode? (/en/api-reference/faq/integration/mirror_mode)

Video SDK provides various interfaces to customize video display effects on local and remote devices during a real-time audio and video call, including the option to enable or disable mirror mode.

## Configure the local view [#configure-the-local-view]

On the local device, the local user's video stream is linked to the local view. To enable the mirror effect for the local view, use the `mirrorMode` parameter in either `setupLocalVideo` or `setLocalRenderMode`. This setting only affects what the local user sees and does not impact the remote user’s view.

  <CalloutDescription>
    Mirror mode is enabled by default for the front camera and disabled by default for the rear camera.
  </CalloutDescription>
</CalloutContainer>

## Configure the remote user's view [#configure-the-remote-users-view]

The remote user’s video stream is linked to a corresponding view on the local device that displays the remote video. To enable the mirror effect for the remote view use the `mirrorMode` parameter in `setupRemoteVideo` or `setRemoteRenderMode`. Like the local view, this setting only affects what the local user sees and does not change the video display for the remote user.

## Configuring the sent local video stream [#configuring-the-sent-local-video-stream]

Once the local video stream is encoded, it is sent to the remote user. To apply the mirror effect to the video stream use the `config` parameter in `setVideoEncoderConfiguration`. This setting affects only the remote user’s view and does not alter the local user’s display.
