Answered by Tom Adger

To use the back camera on Omegle Chrome, you will need to follow a few steps. Please note that these instructions are specifically for using Omegle on Google Chrome.

Step 1: Check your camera settings
Before proceeding, make sure that your back camera is functioning properly. You can do this by opening any other camera application on your device and confirming that the back camera is working correctly.

Step 2: Install a browser extension
Since the default camera option on Omegle Chrome is the front-facing camera, you will need to use a browser extension to access the back camera. One popular extension for this purpose is called “Camera Mirror.” To install it, follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
2. Go to the Chrome Web Store by typing “chrome://extensions/” in the address bar and pressing Enter.
3. In the search bar, type “Camera Mirror” and press Enter.
4. Look for the “Camera Mirror” extension and click on “Add to Chrome” to install it.
5. Once the extension is installed, you should see its icon appear in the top right corner of your browser toolbar.

Step 3: Configure the camera settings
Now that you have the Camera Mirror extension installed, you need to configure the camera settings on Omegle Chrome. Follow these steps:

1. Open a new tab in Google Chrome and go to the Omegle website (www.omegle.com).
2. Click on the camera icon in the top right corner of the website to enable video chat.
3. A pop-up will appear asking for permission to access your camera. Allow access.
4. Once the video chat window opens, click on the Camera Mirror extension icon in your browser toolbar.
5. A drop-down menu will appear, showing the available camera options. Select the back camera from the list.
6. The Camera Mirror extension will redirect the video feed from your back camera to Omegle, allowing you to use it during video chats.

Step 4: Test and adjust the camera
To ensure that the back camera is working properly on Omegle Chrome, you should test it before starting a conversation. Here’s how:

1. On the Omegle website, click on the “Start a chat” button to initiate a video chat.
2. You should now see the video feed from your back camera on the screen.
3. If the image appears flipped or mirrored, you can use the Camera Mirror extension to adjust it. Simply click on the extension icon and select the appropriate mirror option.
4. Make any necessary adjustments to the camera position or lighting to improve the video quality.

That’s it! You should now be able to use your back camera on Omegle Chrome. Remember to always respect others’ privacy and follow the website’s guidelines while using the platform.

Please note that the availability and functionality of browser extensions may vary, so it’s essential to check for updated versions and alternative extensions if needed.
