The ability to change the orientation of visual content on the YouTube platform addresses a common user need. Sometimes, videos are uploaded with an incorrect aspect ratio, requiring adjustment for optimal viewing. This adjustment corrects uploads recorded or digitized in a format where the orientation is wrong.
Correcting video orientation ensures a more professional presentation and improved viewer experience. When content is displayed as intended, it avoids viewer distraction and potential abandonment of the content. In the past, addressing such issues required external video editing software; now, accessible tools provide streamlined options for basic corrections.
