Ooc - Toot-dear = bait for dragon

OOC - I guess this is why you asked I don't know if it's explicitly mentioned anywhere that the actual audiovisual feedback of the magical sensor is reflected by the mirror/font/pool (focus depending on class) or it's "just" a mere focus and the image is visible in your mind but it feels just right. My perception of how the Divination (scrying) subschool is described it should be the other way around (it's your extra sensory organ). Apart from that, it's not explicitly mentioned whether the image is visible (and voice is audible) for everyone like a figment or just for the caster like a phantasm. The spell says "you" which suggests a mental image. But I'm happy either way and not really concerned by the added value that multiple spectators' sensory capabilities may increase effectiveness (e.g. if the caster didn't have darkvision but someone else of the party did then the party as a whole could perceive more than the caster alone)

As a classical non-D&D example, Galadriel's mirror reflected the image Frodo saw (it wasn't a "mental image" in this sense) but she could not see the image. She just knew.
