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.
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.
For text to appear the correct way around, turn Flip camera off.
