    • Things you can't do with Google Photos

    You can rotate any video you have recorded directly with your phone or downloaded to your phone, but you cannot rotate any videos you watch on the Internet. The video needs to be saved to your phone and then uploaded to Google Photos to adjust to the right way.

    If the video is shot vertically and your phone is horizontally positioned, then you don't need Google Photos. In this case, simply rotate the screen of your phone. Also do not try to record video vertically and then use the application to rotate it horizontally. That's impossible. Instead, turn your phone screen back in the right direction when recording a video.

    As mentioned above, if you are looking for ways to change the video that is turned horizontally to vertical or vice versa, then you will not be able to do this from your phone. Instead, you'll need some editing software like iMovie on Mac or Windows Movie Maker. These programs will allow you to rotate your video and change the width / vertical of the video the way you want.
