If you’re someone who uses Facebook Messenger for video calls, you might have encountered a situation where you need to change the camera source. Maybe your front-facing camera isn’t working, or you want to switch to a better quality rear-facing camera. Whatever the reason may be, changing the camera source in Messenger is easier than you might think.
Step 1: Open Messenger and start a video call
The first step is to open Facebook Messenger and start a video call with the person you want to talk to. You can do this by opening an existing chat with them or starting a new conversation. Once you’re in the call, make sure your camera is turned on.
Step 2: Tap on the screen
Once your call has started, tap anywhere on the screen. This will bring up some options at the bottom of the screen, including a button that looks like three dots in a circle. Tap on this button to access more options.
Step 3: Choose “Change Camera”
After tapping on the three dots button, a menu will appear with several options. Look for “Change Camera” and tap on it. This will bring up another menu with all of the available cameras on your device.
Step 4: Select the camera you want to use
In this menu, you’ll see all of the cameras available on your device, including any front-facing or rear-facing cameras. Simply select the one you want to use by tapping on it.
Step 5: Enjoy your video call!
Once you’ve selected your desired camera source, simply tap “Done” at the bottom of the screen and enjoy your video call with improved visuals!
Tips:
– If for some reason none of your cameras are working during a video call, try closing Messenger completely and reopening it.
– Make sure that any apps or services that might be using your camera are closed before starting a video call to avoid conflicts.
– If you’re using Messenger on a desktop computer, you can change the camera source by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen and selecting “Settings.”
Conclusion
Changing the camera source during a Messenger video call is a simple process that can greatly improve your video quality. By following these easy steps, you’ll be able to switch between front-facing and rear-facing cameras with ease.
Remember to check that all of your cameras are working properly before starting a call, and if you’re using Messenger on a desktop computer, look for the settings button instead of tapping on the screen. With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to enjoy crystal clear video calls every time!
