Hello, what have you tried.? Can you share some codes.

@ikeliec For android devices, I had used the following steps to provide switch camera functionality

1. Add a button to switch / toggle the camera

2. Onclick of button reset the camera using the reset method
   Webcam.reset();

3. Re-Initialise the camera
   `

    cameraFacingMode = (cameraFacingMode == 'user') ? 'environment' : 'user';
   
    Webcam.set({
    	width: 50,
    	height: 50,
    	flip_horiz: true,
    	image_format: 'jpeg',
    	jpeg_quality: 100,
    	constraints: {
    		facingMode: cameraFacingMode
    	}
    });
   

`

4. Attach camera to the div

Webcam.attach('#capture_img');

Doesn't work for me, I checked the source code and there's no parameter for facingMode or cameraFacingMode. Should I add it into the source code first?
