This wikiHow teaches you how to change which direction the camera is facing while recording a Snapchat video.
Steps
-
1Open the Snapchat app. It's the white ghost icon on a yellow background.
- If you aren't already logged in, tap Log In and enter your username (or email address) and password.
-
2Tap and hold the capture button. The capture button is the large circular button at the bottom of the screen.
- Don't tap the smaller button below the large one--doing that will open Snapchat's Memories folder instead of recording.
-
3Double-tap the screen quickly while recording. Doing so will flip the camera from facing forward to facing you (or vice versa).
- You can also tap the camera icon in the top right corner of the screen.
-
4Lift your finger off of the capture button. Your video snap will stop recording.
- You can edit your snap at this point by tapping one of the options in the top right corner of the screen.
- If you haven't switched cameras mid-snap before, you'll receive a Snapchat trophy for doing so.
