[Video Rotation] HDMI video from iPad needs manual screenOrientation handling — any recommended approach?

Hello Zoom Dev Team,

We’re currently working with the Zoom Video SDK 2.2.0 and have encountered a rotation issue when an iPad is used as the HDMI sender.

We’ve implemented a temporary fix based on the iPad’s screenOrientation value and are manually rotating the received video stream on the client side. Here’s the mapping we are currently using:

iPad screenOrientation Rotation applied on receiver
portrait-primary rotate(270deg)
portrait-secondary rotate(90deg)
landscape-primary rotate(180deg)
landscape-secondary rotate(0deg)

This fix works for now, but we are wondering:

  • Is there a more recommended or official way to handle video rotation for HDMI input from iPads using the Zoom Video SDK?

  • Does Zoom SDK provide built-in metadata or orientation handling for HDMI sources like iPads?

  • Are there any upcoming improvements in rotation handling planned for this use case?

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
