Not able to record in Landscape mode on Facebook Live! Auto Rotate is on. I used to be able to and be able to take still and multiple shots while recording. Can only record in Portrait mode and can no longer take pictures at same time. PLEASE FIX!! IT'S BEEN GOING ON WAY TOO LONG! I tried the Orientation Control app which does allow Landscape recording but my screen view shows recording flipping 360 around and has gotten stuck recoding upside-down. UGH!! I have also written to Facebook app support.

Enable Auto-Rotate:

Make sure your device's auto-rotate feature is enabled. On Android, this is typically found in the quick settings panel. On iPhones, it's under Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom, View > make sure this is set to Standard. 

2. Start with Landscape Orientation:

Rotate your device to landscape before initiating the Facebook Live broadcast. 

3. Initiate the Broadcast:

Open the Facebook app and start the live video as you normally would. 

4. Check for Issues:

If you encounter problems, ensure your device's settings are correctly configured and that Facebook Live is not experiencing any known issues. 

Additional Tips:

Consider your background: Landscape mode captures a wider view, so make sure your background is tidy and visually appealing.

Use good lighting: Ensure your scene is well-lit for optimal video quality.

Utilize additional equipment: Consider using a tripod or stabilizer to improve camera stability, especially for longer broadcasts.

Hi, thank you for your reply. All the above have been checked over and it's been an ongoing issue with either Samsung's update a year or so ago and or with Facebook. I do a lot of Facebook Live recordings on a weekly basis and this issue is very frustrating to me.

Didn't find much else to help my only guess is its either a change or update with Facebook or a samsung update that made some camera changes not sure what to suggest

@GadgetGirl520 You would need to reach out to the Facebook/Meta developers for help.

I agree. It would be FB app issue, not Samsung.

I think that they're talking about live streaming on the Facebook app.
