The Turn Video () block is a Sensing block and a stack block. It can turn the webcam on, off, or on flipped horizontally, depending on the argument. Early in the Scratch 2.0 alpha, it was categorized as a Looks block.
 Caution: | This block can turn on the computer's webcam. If you are uncomfortable with using a webcam for safety, avoid usage of this block or click "Deny" on the Adobe Flash Player warning if one pops up. |
Options
The block contains a drop-down list of three options.
- On
— Turns the webcam on for utilization of the motion-sensing features in Scratch 2.0.
- Off
— Turns the webcam off which will cause the constant film pasted onto the Stage to remove.
- On-flipped
— Turns the webcam on but displays the video footage in a horizontally flipped form. This option is not available in the stage but only in sprites.
