Introduced in 2.0

The turn video () block is a Video Sensing and a stack block. It turns the webcam on (directly or flipped) or off depending on the argument. Early in the Scratch 2.0 alpha, it was categorized as a looks block before being changed to a sensing block in release and being moved to the Video Sensing Extension in Scratch 3.0.

Options

The block contains a drop-down list of three options.

  • Off — Turns the webcam off which will cause the constant film pasted onto the stage to remove.
  • On — Turns the webcam on for utilization of motion-sensing features.
  • On-Flipped — Turns the webcam on but displays the video footage in a horizontally-flipped form.
