Do you want to flip cameras on Omegle? Omegle is a free online video chat service that allows you to talk to strangers without having to log in. However, Omegle does not have the option to flip cameras. There is a workaround that allows you to pick which camera you want to use. This How.com.vn article teaches you how to select which camera you want to use on Omegle.
Things You Should Know
- Omegle does not have the option to flip cameras within the app.
- You can choose which camera you want to use by going to the Omegle website using the Opera web browser on Android.
- Some web browsers allow you to select an external webcam on PC and Mac.
Steps
Selecting Which Camera You Want to Use on Android
- Download and install the Opera web browser. You need to use the Opera web browser to be able to select which camera you want to use on Omegle. Opera is free to download. You can download and install Opera from the Google Play Store on Android devices.
- Go to https://www.omegle.com/ in the Opera web browser. Once the Opera web browser is installed, open Opera and navigate to the Omegle website.
- You can not flip cameras using Chrome or any other web browser.
- Tap Video. It's the second option at the top of the website. This starts a video chat.
- Additionally, you can enter specific interests you like to talk about in the bar that says "Interests."
- Tap the checkboxes and tap Confirm & continue. This acknowledges that you are 18 and older and that you agree to the terms and conditions. Tap the two checkboxes and then tap Confirm & continue.
- Tap Allow. This grants the Omegle website permission to use your microphone and camera.
- Tap While using the app for your microphone and camera. This allows Opera to use your microphone and camera only while it is in use. You will need to tap this for both your microphone and camera.
- Alternatively, you can grant Opera a one-time-only permission by tapping Only this once. You will need to tap this option every time you use Omegle in Opera.
- Select which camera you want to use. Use the drop-down menu in the pop-up to select which camera you want to use. You can select your front or back camera. This will be the camera that gets used during your video chats.
- If you want Omegle to remember which camera you want to use, tap the checkbox next to "Remember choice."
