        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",
                                                       },
              		             },
              		         ]
              		     }
              		},
