Can iPad Pro 12.9" reverse the image?

I am using an inexpensive teleprompter from Caddie Buddy to look video conferencing participants in the eye. Brighton West of Brighton West Video in Portland says that if you use a Lilliput 10" monitor in the teleprompter rather than a tablet, that monitor can "reverse the image". That allows you to read a script while also looking straight at the camera like anchors on the evening news do. Does anyone know if an iPad can "reverse the image"? Evidently, the Lilliput has a setting that you can change to allow this.

Thanks,

If you go to Settings > Camera > Mirror Camera, it will I believe what you are looking for. Give that a try at least and see.

Perhaps consider using one of the many teleprompter Apps that are available in the App Store?

Just search for “Teleprompter”.

It has a setting called "Mirror Front Camera". You can turn it off or on. However, before we get to "reversing the image", I was trying to add the iPad as a display to which the MacBook could extend or mirror. I also typically use an external monitor (a BenQ LCD) with the MacBook Pro. It seems you can extend or mirror to only the BenQ or the iPad but not both. Once you choose to extend or mirror to the iPad, the Screen Mirroring settings show the Built in Retina Display and the iPad. Under each you have options to Mirror the BenQ, Mirror the Built in Retina or Use an Additional Display. If you make a choice under one, it makes the same choice under the other. If you choose BenQ or Additional Display, both the iPad and the BenQ show my MacBook desktop wallpaper or screen saver while the MacBook shows its windows that are open. If you choose Mirror the Built In Retina, the iPad and MacBook show the MacBook desktop with windows open but the BenQ still shows the wallpaper.

Should I do that on the MacBook Pro? Or, the iPad?

Under Displays in the MacBook Pro, you can add a display and choose the iPad. Under Display settings, only the BenQ or Built In Retina are available. And you can set which is the main display

You have to turn the iPad off or have it disconnect to see the mirroring of the BenQ and the MacBook Pro
