Hi,


Whilst the App is in Preview mode the Orientation cannot be changed and the options to do so are Greyed out.

Once the call is connected then the options on My Mac are active.


I can choose Landscape but this just makes the Pic in Pic landscape and does not change the overall Video chat window.

If the other end can change to Landscape such as a Phone changing its position then the main window will also change.


Hope this helps.


Ralph
