Basic ways

It was in this sequence that I tried all the methods. Only the last method helped me. And I really didn’t want to use it: I don’t like installing programs on my laptop unnecessarily.

Settings in Skype itself

This is the easiest option. Even in the process of talking on Skype, I tried to flip the image in this way.

• Go to the Tools section further settings
  
• Click on Video Settings
• You see the image from the WEB-camera, it is inverted. Click on Webcam Settings
• Perhaps you have a parameter that is responsible for the rotation of the camera, but I do not have one.

You may be more fortunate. And you, with one tick, will solve the problem. But I’m out of luck.

Internet connoisseurs say it depends on the webcam model or driver.

Editing the.inf file in the driver folder

I would call this method a hybrid of the previous two.

• download the driver from the official website
• unpack the archive
• find the file with the extension.inf in the folder and open it
• search for the word “flip”
• replace values ​​from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1
• save changes
• remove the old driver
• Install the new driver
• Restart your computer

I had to turn to the last method, which I initially specifically tried to avoid.

5 ways how to flip the image from your WEB-camera in skype

Today I want to share my experience with you.

Yesterday I agreed to speak with my mother and sister on Skype. Mom has just arrived in Moscow to visit my sister Rimma and her husband Kamil.

Rimma gave birth to her first child, a boy, two months ago. They called him Karim.

I have an idea: who is the first to guess why they named Karim, the prize is 50 rubles for wmr webmoney wallet.

So. We phoned yesterday, and I have an inverted image on Skype!

It was not possible to fix this problem in a couple of minutes, so we decided that it was possible to communicate like this

We talked. everything is fine! But I could not leave it just like that and decided to fix this DLNP. Initially I thought that I would solve this problem in a couple of minutes, but in the end it took more than an hour.

So, in this article I will tell you how to flip the image of a WEB-camera in skype.

ManyCam program

I just downloaded this program on the Internet, I could not find any official site.

Readers, I remind you: be careful when downloading anything from the Internet. Be sure to use antivirus software with updated databases.

By the way, my Windows 10 did not trust this ManyCam program, I had to take responsibility and install it anyway.

• Launch the ManyCam program
• Rotate the video from the WEB-camera the way you need
• We return to skype in the video settings
• Select the virtual web camera ManyCam from the list
• Done!

Now this miracle program hangs in my tray.

Registry Editing (RegEdit)

This method is already more interesting, at least for me, because I do not like to climb the registry and in general I do not really understand this. But I found the instructions on YouTube, everything is simple and clear there.

You will need the RegEdit application. This is a standard application. You can run it either through the Run command or through the search.

By the way, this is what I like about my Windows 10: by searching next to the Start button, you can quickly find any application.

• Go to the RegEdit application.
• Go to the Edit menu, then Search
• We are looking for the word Flip (you need to find the autoflip parameter, flip_horizontal, flip_vertical or something like that)
• Click on the found parameter
• Change the value from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1
• Done

But I could not change this parameter, an error was thrown. I don’t know what the reason is. Launched RegEdit as administrator. It didn’t work, so let’s move on

Installing the driver from the official website

This option is also quite simple, but it already takes a little more time and there are several nuances.

First you need to know the Pid ID for your camera. To find it out:

• go to device manager
• right-click on your webcam
• go to the details tab
• There you can see this Pid. Remember it or write it down, or rather copy it

And one more thing: remove the old driver through the device manager.

• I go to the official ASUS website.
• I indicate the model of my laptop N50Vc
• I indicate the operating system (Windows 7, for some reason Windows 10 is not in the list)
• I open the tab with the drivers for the webcam
• I am looking for the required driver by its Pid identifier (I use the Ctrl F keyboard shortcut to search)
• Download it and install it
• I restart my computer

That’s all. This will help someone, but it did not help me.
