Webcam image is upside down or sideways
Webcam orientation is controlled by camera driver settings or your video calling app. The fastest fix is to flip the image in your video app's settings — almost every app like Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet has a flip or rotate option. If the app doesn't have it, you can flip the image in your camera driver settings.
Your webcam sends a picture that can be flipped or rotated based on how the camera is positioned or how the driver is set up. The image can be flipped back to normal through your video app settings or camera driver settings. Both are quick fixes that take less than a minute.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Thinking the camera is broken when really it just needs a setting change
- Only checking one app when the problem can be in the camera driver
- Not realizing that different apps can have different flip settings
Signs you need professional help
- The image is still wrong after checking all app settings and driver settings
- The camera image is correct in some apps but wrong in others — the apps can have different settings
- You physically rotated the camera but the image is still upside down
