# Highlights


## Camera

Many problems related to camera capture with specific devices have been fixed.

If the new [camera feature](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/camera.md) did not work on your device with scrcpy 2.2, you should definitely retry with scrcpy 2.3. (#4392)


## Orientation

A new option `--orientation` allows to rotate or flip the video. (It replaces the deprecated `--rotation` option.)

It is possible to change the display orientation dynamically using [shortcuts](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/shortcuts.md):
 - rotate display left: <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>←</kbd>
 - rotate display right: <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>→</kbd>
 - flip display horizontally: <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>←</kbd> or <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>→</kbd>
 - flip display vertically: <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>↑</kbd> or <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>↓</kbd>

_(The two first ones already existed)._

The rotation can now be applied to recording as well. For example, to capture and record a portrait video from the camera:

```
scrcpy --video-source=camera --camera-size=1920x1080 --orientation=90 --record=portrait.mp4
```

_(It is not possible to apply a flip to a recorded file though, the formats and/or video players do not handle flipping as metadata, without re-encoding the video stream.)_

More details in #4441 (and the [documentation](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/video.md#orientation)).


## Android 14

The [turn screen off](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/device.md#turn-screen-off) feature was broken in Android 14.

It is now fixed :tada: Read some [technical details](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/4446#issuecomment-1824818046).
