    Hi,

    You may flip the camera on your Surface by going in to the camera app settings. Kindly refer to the steps below:

    • Open the Camera App on your Surface.
    • Swipe down from the top of the camera window (this brings up the Camera Options, as seen below.)
    • Tap Change Camera.
    • Take picture as usual.
    • Tap Change Camera again if you would like the camera to facing you.

    Let us know if you will need further assistance.
