      thank you so much for your help!

      so, by going to the http://YOUR.RASPBERRY.IP.ADDRESS:8080/remote.html and hiding the module, it works fine. under “edit view” when i slide it to hide the slideshow goes off and when i’m sliding it to on the slideshow goes on.

      however, both
      http://YOUR.RASPBERRY.IP.ADDRESS:8080/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_0_ImageSlideshow

      http://YOUR.RASPBERRY.IP.ADDRESS:8080/remote?action=SHOW&module=module_0_ImageSlideshow
      don’t work although I’m getting “success” message.

        Ah sorry… the MMM was missing. should be this:

        http://your.raspberry.ip.address:8080/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_0_MMM-ImageSlideshow

        And

        http://your.raspberry.ip.address:8080/remote?action=SHOW&module=module_0_MMM-ImageSlideshow

          works perfectly, thank you so much for your help!

          and now to the ultimate question for me… Is it possible to start the camera on full screen by a press of a button?

            surely, but i don’t know what camera u mean^^

            A security camera somewhere at your house or the RPi camera?

            For security u could check this: https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-RTSPStream

            for RPi cam u could check this: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/603/camera-module

              I use a Microsoft round web cam that I’ve embedded into the frame and I’m using the camera module however the voice recognition is not very good so I wanted to start it with a press of a button, but I don’t know how and how to display the video vertically on full screen.

                So you use the camera module i posted?

                unfortunately i don’t use this module, so i am maybe the wrong person to ask…

                But i took a look at the webcam.js of the module and in line 46/47 the width and hight is defined.
                Maybe u should play around with that…
                https://github.com/alexyak/camera/blob/master/webcam.js

                nano MagicMirror/modules/camera/webcam.js

                also check the camera.js at line 62/63…

                nano MagicMirror/modules/camera/camera.js

                I don’t know if it would be necessary to set the resolution of the cam within raspbian… ?

                To start the cam with a button u can even use the MMM-Buttons module. This should work, if i understand the camera-module correct ^^

                {
                		    module: 'MMM-Buttons',
                		    config: {
                			maxShortPressTime: 1000,
                		        buttons: [
                		            {
                		                pin: 15,
                		                name: "camera",
                		                shortPress: {
                		                    notification: "SHOW_CAMERA",
                                                         }
                		             },
                                                longPress: {
                                                notification: "HIDE_CAMERA",
                                                         },
                		             },
                		         ]
                		     }
                		},
