Change or flip the camera on Omegle and other web pages
The Opera browser for Android is the only one that allows you to use the rear camera on omegle.com, during the process of granting access permissions to the website.
Omegle is a website for online “video encounters” with strangers. If you visit this site using browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox or Samsung Internet from your Android cell phone, you will realize that the front camera will be activated and you will not have the option to turn to the rear camera. The solution to this situation is very simple and consists of using the Opera browser, available on the Play Store.
As far as I have tested, Opera is the only browser that will give you the option to choose the front or rear camera each time you log in. omegle.com. It will even allow you to choose headphones as the audio source and microphone, when the other browsers only work with the speaker. You can see YouTube video where I found this information.
Problem resolution
The “camera error” or “change camera” button that does not appear may be due to a software error (an app failure) or a hardware error (a faulty module).
If when you open the camera application you see “Error in camera”, the app does not open, or the cameras are not changed, try the basic solutions to fix the camera of your cell phone, such as restarting the computer, trying another app from camera, or one of the most effective, which is to delete the application data to restart it.
Restart camera app
- Open the system settings (by sliding the top bar and tapping on the gear wheel or looking for the “Settings” or “Settings” icon in the application drawer).
- Tap on “Applications” or “Application Manager.”
- Find the “Camera” application and tap on it.
- Tap on the “Clear data” button.
