IOS: Auto rotate video to landscape

Neabb

When I am watching a video on:
-YouTube

Twitch
Any other website
And I open the video in fullscreen
Then the video is forced to landscape - regardless of orientation lock settings.

I think iOS orientation is inaccurate, and portrait video is generally not so good.

Users are going to pair this feature with firefox and chrome youtube extensions for the ultimate seamless viewing experience that surpasses even the YouTube app.

Neabb Does Safari behave in the same way?

If your phone is in portrait mode and you full screen a video on YouTube, Safari remains in portrait mode. Safari does not automatically flip orientations.

If you do choose to create this feature, it should not be turned on by default and should be a toggle.

The reason for not defaulting is there are users who want to just enable PIP video by full-screening. There should not be any reason for the user to have their phone orientation flipped automatically when they just wanted to quickly fullscreen a video to enable PIP.
