A mobile terminal comprising: - a main body; - a display unit arranged on a front side of the main body; - a camera arranged in a lower end portion of the front side and configured to capture an image during a video communication event; - a sound output unit, wherein the sound output unit and the camera are arranged on said front side of the main body in opposite end portions, respectively, with the display unit in between; - a sensing unit installed in the main body, and configured to detect a rotation of the main body in response to the video communication event; and - a controller configured to: display a video communication screen in a first direction when the video communication event occurs; output alert information requesting a rotation of the main body such that the main body is rotated from a first position to a second position if the video communication event occurs and a position of the main body is the first position; calculate an angle between the main body and a predetermined reference axis when the sensing unit detects a rotation of the main body; switch a displaying direction of the video communication screen from the first direction to a second direction such that an captured image is rotated by 180 degrees with respect to the reference axis when the calculated angle is 180 degrees to correspond to the calculated angle if the sensing unit detects the rotation of the main body according to a predetermined reference condition, wherein the predetermined reference condition is that the main body is rotated from the first position to the second position, wherein the first position is a state in which the sound output unit is positioned above the video communication screen while the video communication screen is displayed in the first direction of the video communication screen, and wherein the second position is a state in which the camera is positioned above the video communication screen while the video communication screen is displayed in the first direction of the video communication screen. - a main body;
