FaceTime call will not rotate to landscape on Apple TV

How is this still not fixed? What do we need to raise the issue to Apple again. From what I can tell it's the FaceTime app the needs updated, when you rotate using FaceTime the iPhone 'doesn't know it's rotated'. What I mean by this is that swipe up comes from the side etc.

Wow!! People are still trying to get this to work!!

I gave up years ago.

Airplay itself is not working properly from my iphone6 to my ATV4 through a Airport extreme. Maybe i need to buy my network cables from apple too.

Hi Don, yes I have this issue with FACETIME when I MIRROR my iPhone5 @ iOS8.1 with an TV (ATV Apple TV 3) and an HDMI screen over AIRPLAY

Issue: facetime locked in portrait mode when mirroring iphone (iOS) to AppleTV3 managed HDMI screen over Airplay

This was working correctly in iOS7.x

We use this facility for "conference" calls with a group to group.

I'm looking for a workaround and will keep you posted.

The same thing is happening to me. I did not figure out a way to fix it.

I have a similar issue. I use PowerPoint in a classroom connected via Apple TV. The orientation on my Phone (5s running IOS 8.1) is horizontal, but the projection is landscape and thus sideways up and down (unreadable). I haven't found a way to correct this problem.

Me too! happened since upgrading to ios 8. On an iPhone 6 plus and Apple TV 3. Been doing FaceTime calls like this for over a year. Kids love to talk with grandma on the big screen. The phone seems to lag a lot switching from one orientation to another, same with my wife's 6. Maybe it's an issue with the new iPhones. Anyway, please fix!

Same problem for me as well say since iOS 8 and begining to think, it wont be solved!

just realised the problem occurs with iphone 6 not ipad air 2

Hi Don, just took delivery of iphone6 PLUS and it has the same issue with failure to provide landscape mode with FACETIMe enabled to airplay . I'll post if I find a resolution.

I too have the same issue with my iPhone 5 and 6 since upgrading to IOS 8. This is ridiculous. The screen on my phone is correct and the screen on the TV is sideways. Help?

I also encountered this issue after the IOS 8 upgrade. I called Apple support regarding this issue on October 19. After talking to a couple technicians I was told the issue would be forwarded to engineering and I would be updated on their progress. I sent the tech an email in November, letting him know that subsequent IOS updates didn't help. I never heard anything back.

Edit: I should note that this issue arose for men when using Facetime with mirroring an iPhone 5s using an Apple Lightening-HDMI connector, not Airplay. The symptoms are as described by the other users here. The setup also worked fine under IOS 7.

Any luck with Apple people on this? I have the same issue

I'll second that. Rotation is correct on iPad Air 2, but incorrect on iPhone 6. I imagine it is an issue with iOS for iPhone. Have not tried my daughter's 4s.

I had the same issue since last week I bought apple TV. Seems like this issue haven't been fixed until now.

i am very surprised that Apple has not addressed this yet. Does anyone have an update?
