In my app, I have to lock my entire app screen orientation to portrait only. But on 1 page, I have a youtube video embedded. Now this video can only be shown in portrait mode which the width is very small. I can't rotate it for landscape because screen orientation is locked for portrait.

So now I am thinking of create a buttom then user clickon the button and it will take user straight o youtube URl which is http://m.youtube.com/?v=789182791

What makes me mad is that even with the button solution above, the youtube link still showing in portrait mode. Why can't it be landscape?

Hi Mike,

Why do you need to navigate to YouTube site? You can just use iframe on your page.

Will iframe allow the youtube video to rotate to landscape mode even if my app is locked in portrait mode?

How do I do the iframe?
