What Is Camera Inverted?

inverted camera refers to a situation where the video feed from a camera appears flipped, either horizontally (mirrored) or vertically (upside down). This can happen with webcams, mobile phone cameras, or video conferencing cameras, and it’s usually caused by one of the following reasons:

Causes of Inverted Camera:

1. Camera Placement: The physical placement of the camera (e.g., mounted upside down) can cause the video to appear inverted.

2. Software Settings: Some video conferencing software or webcam applications have settings that mirror or flip the video. In platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, there might be an option to "mirror" the camera or flip it to adjust the view.

3. Driver or Software Issues: Outdated or incompatible camera drivers can cause the video feed to display incorrectly.

Solutions:

1. Adjust Settings: In the video settings of the application (e.g., Zoom, Teams), you can usually find an option to flip or mirror the video.

2. Correct Physical Placement: Ensure that the camera is mounted or placed correctly.

3. Update Drivers: If using a webcam on a computer, updating the camera drivers might resolve the issue.

4. Use Third-Party Software: Applications like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) or webcam utilities often provide additional controls to adjust the orientation of the video.

If you are using a conferencing camera like a Yealink MeetingEye or another video conferencing platform certified camera, ensure the camera is physically positioned correctly, and check the software settings to resolve any inversion issues.
