Virtual communication using a video camera and Skype has long been a common practice for Internet users. Installing the software and connecting a webcam is not difficult, but sometimes some questions arise, for example, if the image is upside down.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure the camera is connected to your computer and working. Highlight the "Computer" icon, press Alt + Enter, the computer properties window will open. On the right side, click the Device Manager link. If the camera does not work, although it is connected, install the drivers that come with the device itself, or download them from the manufacturer's official website.
Step 2
Skype's interface and language depends on which settings you are using. Find the "Tools" item, click on the "Options" tab, then "Video settings". In the window that opens, click the "Webcam settings" item.
Step 3
In the window that opens, there will be detailed settings for images received from the webcam. The options menu depends on the camera manufacturer. Find Horizontal Flip / Image Horizontal Flip to flip the image from top to bottom, or Vertical Flip / Image Vertical Flip to flip from left to right. Save the settings - click OK, close the window. Restart Skype. In the item "Video settings" there is a small window in which the image from the camera is displayed, check if the image has changed.
Step 4
You may need to restart your computer to save your settings in Skype. Reboot, see if the result is achieved. If you have changed the position of the camera and you need to return the original settings, or set new ones, do it in the same way. You can also customize the webcam image in the software in the Options / Options section or by clicking on the wrench icon.
