How to rotate video on Android phone. Rotating the video screen either vertically or horizontally sometimes has to be done especially before uploading the video to various social media platforms such as TikTok, Reels Instagram, YouTube, and others.
For example when you have a video with a widescreen size or 16:9 format and want to upload it to TikTok which recommends a 9:16 portrait size video. Instead of reducing the screen size of the video, it would be much better if you rotate your video screen vertically and create an instruction text for the viewer to have them tilt their phone screen.
Besides being able to maintain the image quality of the video, rotating the video screen can also make the video more interactive with the viewer because the viewer can do things like tilt their phone screen to enjoy the information you provide in the video.
