## Which method should I use to flip my camera?

Use the **Flip Camera** shortcut when you're recording with just the camera bubble in the Chrome extension, it's the quickest way. Use **Camera Effects** when you're recording your full webcam (not only the bubble) or working in the Sendspark desktop application, since the shortcut isn't available in those modes.
