iPad iPad camera shows wrong orientation when using external monitor and non-FaceTime app (Zoom). No fix?

[miamialley]

Connected my 2022 iPad to an external display. Opened Zoom on the external display. Used the front camera during a Zoom call, but my camera image showed in Zoom rotated 90 degrees clockwise. When using FaceTime (even on the external display), the orientation was correct.

Zoom doesn’t allow you to manually rotate your video image. So, there was nothing I could do, my video of myself was just sideways. Am I missing a fix for this? The only thing that corrected it was to put the zoom app on the iPad display. That immediately corrected my video to the correct/upright orientation. But I needed the zoom app on my external display.

Can’t call the iPad a laptop replacement if *h!t like this happens. I had just been bragging to my wife how with the external display it’s a laptop replacement…spoke too soon.

Interesting issue - sadly I cannot replicate this anytime soon. Could you check just to be sure that the rotation lock in iOS is off? Maybe there is some relation there where one app can deal with that and the other cannot? Best success!

Yeah, it was definitely off. I literally never lock the rotation on my iPad.

The same thing is happening to me... I thought that maybe with iPadOS 16.3 was going to be fixed, but no. Any solutions???

Had the same happen to me, OP… hopefully Zoom and/or Apple fix this in an update.

Same thing for me. I have no idea what else to try

I can still unfortunately confirm this is still a problem. Its very weird because the video is the correct orientation on the iPad display but if I move it to the external, its rotated.

I thought this was supposed to be corrected in the 17 beta? Anyone confirm?

As far as I can tell, it has not been corrected in the latest iOS update

When will this be corrected? When trying to enter a teams meeting my camera is still rotated…

Zoom and Microsoft teams need to correct this with a software update. The iPad supports external video sources so they have no excuse now.

Within 5 years is my guess.
