Bug description
During a video call, the screen will not rotate when turning the iPhone from portrait to landscape orientation.
Steps to reproduce
- start a video call with someone (in portrait orientation)
- turn the iPhone to landscape
Actual result: the video of your partner does not rotate correspondingly. Thus, your conversation partner is not displayed upright but 90° turned.
Expected result: the video of your partner should be rotated in correspondence with the orientation of the iPhone.
Note: interestingly, the tiny video of yourself that is taken by the front camera is rotated correctly.
Device info
Device: iPhone X, iPhone Air 2
iOS version: 12.4
Signal version: 2.41.0.21

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing a Signal video call on the listed iPhone and iOS versions, then trace the video-call orientation handling for the remote and local previews. Done means the remote video rotates correctly when switching between portrait and landscape without breaking the local preview.
