"Mirror local video feed" should be on by default #10651

You could also host a riot-web instance with the default changed (via config.json) on Github Pages or some other free host also |

Any reason why the default default (not a typo) shouldn’t be changed? |

When making a video call, the video preview (i.e. my view of myself) is not horizontally flipped.
The UX is uncomfortable, because the preview doesn't act like a mirror.
It turns out that this is configurable in the browser version. (Thanks to @t3chguy for answering #10650 with lightning speed)
But is turned off by default:
In my case (and presumably in most cases?) the camera is a webcam pointed at myself, and I would always want this option turned on.
I respectfully suggest that on would be a sensible default for the "Mirror local video feed" option.
The alternative would be to have to turn this on manually on every browser I log in to, and more annoyingly, explain how to do this to all the users in our group.
