Flipping the board

When watching games in progress is there a way to pick which side you see the board from? I notice some games start with white on the bottom, some with black. Is there a way I can flip the board?

Games start with black at the bottom when you play black. Unless there's a setting somewhere which makes black always start at the top and you have it enabled.
Anyway, the F key flips the board during the game.

Useful to know about how to flip the board. I assumed that it was the control and f combination like as in many applications, but this is already taken for the find function.

I'm asking about games I watch, not games I play. Thank you, just found the flip board icon. Maybe I should ask about bigger icons for bad eyes?
