Please add the ability to change video input from front to back camera using UI. By default the app uses the front camera. It makes the app almost unusable.

Tested on Google Nexus 5 using Google Chrome.

What version of Chrome?

Answer 2 · 2016-11-19T08:58:24.000Z

Just tested on

Chrome Stable (54.0.2840.85)
Chrome Beta (55.0.2883.53)
Chrome Dev (56.0.2919.3)
Chrome Canary (56.0.2924.0)
Chromium (57.0.2926.0)

Stable and Beta use back camera by default, all the rest use front.

This should be fixed in the latest build.

Could you please add button (or horizontal swipe gesture) to change the camera?
