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. Video apps like Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet have a flip or rotate option.
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.
