Flip your camera
Flip the camera
How to flip camera orientation for legible text: On mobile, use the outward camera and set orientation lock correctly. In Chrome extension or desktop app, toggle “flip camera” off in settings to display text correctly.
Make sure your text displays the right way around in your webcam recordings.
This means text on your whiteboard, book, or backdrop is readable and not mirrored in your Loom video.
Here's how to flip your camera:
Desktop app
Open the recording menu and select the three dots in the upper corner to open your menu.
Select Settings and navigate to the Video & Audio tab.
Toggle on or off the Flip camera option for your desired effect.
For text to appear the correct way around, ensure Flip Camera is toggled off.
Chrome extension
Open the Loom Chrome extension, select the three dots in the bottom corner and then select Settings to access your menu.
Check or uncheck the Flip Camera option for your desired effect.
For text to appear the correct way around on camera, ensure Flip Camera is unchecked.
It is not possible to flip your recording after you've recorded, so make sure you enable the flip camera option prior to recording your video.
The iOS mobile app does not have a flip option for the front-facing camera, but if you use the rear-facing camera, your text will record properly.
