Watch videos in landscape while phone in portrait - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before i switched to the s6 I was using an iphone 5s.
I usually watch videos on chrome while laying on the bed so on my iphone i rotate the video to landscape and watch while the phone is portrait.
Using the s6 was a bit different i had to use the phone 180 degrees so that the auto rotation wont disturb the video while watching it landcape on portrait.
Any fixes for this?

Info
What is exactly ur problem?
you wanna rotate everything + video player?
Or just video player?
you can switch off auto-rotate
Or you install 3rd Party Launcher like Apex/Nova that support rotation
it means whole home pages will rotate
:good:

Rotate video

Is there a free way to rotate a video I shot on the phone? Took it in landscape but it only plays in landscape when I hold the phone vertical.

rotating video

Hi,
I am using several apps where video's are posted like news videos. For instance NOS is a populair newsfeed app with videos in it. When viewing those videos they are played normal with the Samsung s6 Edge portraid stand. This is only a small part of the screen while the videos can be played on a pc for instalnce full screen.
So i turn the phone landscape and assume the the video will go landscape and full screen to but that isn;t the case it has never done that. The video keeps playing a small part of the screen.
The setting in Android is to turn the screen when the phone is turned so when holding the phone landscape the screen is also landscape. When i choose the camera and set it oin video that videoscreen is landscape so that is working good, but not within apps.
Does anyone now how to solve this..?

Videos that play in apps will only play the way the app wants them too. Some apps simply don't allow video rotation.
Ok thx. I had to know that myself....

Full Screen Video Playback in Browser?

Any way or any browser that lets you zoom in or force full screen mode, like in the iphone xs max when watching videos? Or like how youtube allows?
I use the samsung browser and haven't been able to figure out any settings to make this happen. You just get the black bars on the left and right when in landscape mode.
Thanks in advance for your help:good:

Question Anyone else have Problems with Auto-rotate on video content?

Received my Pro 7 just over a week ago. However some video content won't display in landscape mode. I first noticed the issue when playing youtube videos from the links in the Google news feed screen. If i turn the embedded video to landscape, it just throws a wobbler and goes black. Then I noticed it on 2 of my CCTV apps. Reolink and Camhi. Again if i switch the live feed, or the recorded clips into landscape, they go crazy. Reolink disconnects the camera feed and reverts back to portrait, and the Camhi just switches back to portrait. Very strange. Ive not found anything online that seems to cover this issues, so was wondering how others get on.
Cheers

is video orientation broken in android 12 onward?

i updated my phone recently from android 11 to 12, in mx player theres an orientation setting called "use video orientation" which worked fine all the years i've been using it but now it starts all videos in landscape mode.
half of my videos are in portrait and the other half in ladscape so forcing one orientation isnt ideal and switching orientation in half of the time isnt either, im using auto rotation as for now which is kind of a fix but im wondering if its only me ?!
