Windows 10: How do I reverse the mirror image on the camera?

It seems that my Windows 10 camera app doesn't let me reverse the "mirror image" I see along with others on Zoom calls. It's not a good look if I'm wearing anything graphic. How can I correct the camera image so it doesn't look like what I see in a mirror? Thank you for your assistance.

reverse mirror image

In Paint for Windows10, how do I obtain a mirror left to right reverse image?

 

Camera reverse the image!

I have this problem as well and found a slight workaround.

My webcam was displaying a mirror image of what it was seeing. However, when I took and saved a picture (or video), the image was displayed correctly. I don’t know why the Windows camera software reverses the image when saving it, but it does.

After checking around, I found a registry hack that would flip the image being displayed, however the software would still reverse the image when saving a picture or video. So, if you plan to use the webcam as a baby monitor (or any other kind of monitor),
the hack will let you reverse the picture being shown. If you want to take pictures or videos, the leave the reverse image showing because the software will save it in the correct orientation.

As always with a registry hack, be sure you’ve made a backup before making changes, just in case something goes wrong. Here is the hack (some of the values may be slightly different):

Run REGEDIT

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\

SYSTEM\

CurrentControlSet\

Control\

Class\

{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\

0000\

VIDEOPROCAMP

There is a 32bit DWORD entry HFLIP.

Change the value from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, to reverse the effects of the camera image.



I hope this helps.

After checking around, I found a registry hack that would flip the image being displayed, however the software would still reverse the image when saving a picture or video. So, if you plan to use the webcam as a baby monitor (I use mine for remote viewing),
the hack will let you reverse the preview picture being shown. If you want to take pictures or videos, then leave the reverse (preview) image showing because the software will save it in the correct orientation when you click the picture button.
