We look for a video rotation 90-180-270 degrees. Picture rotation is available, which is very helpful; however, if the crew in the field records the video holding the phone sideways, we are breaking our necks trying to watch it. The workaround has been downloading the video, editing it in Canva, and then re-uploading the video back to company cam. When this is done five or seven to ten times a day, this becomes untenable for a small team. It would be helpful to have this video rotation tool inside of company cam.

Hey there! Appreciate you writing this one up! The Canva detour is a real pain, so let's get you something better in the meantime.
Straight answer first: there's no video rotation tool inside CompanyCam today. Rotate lives in the photo editor only. Your ask is logged on our end, though. We'll be sure to chime back in here if we hear any updates!
A few things that should cut down the round trip, in the meantime:
Rotate before it ever hits CompanyCam. Both iPhone Photos and Google Photos offer a native rotate option in editing. Taking the time to do this before uploading could help! It's the same end result as the Canva route without the export/re-import step.
Record in-app when you can. Video shot through the CompanyCam camera picks up orientation at capture, so it lands right-side-up. If your crew can open the app first instead of the phone camera, you fix the root problem.
If you're noticing these suggestions don't help and videos are still coming in sideways, that's not an expected outcome. We'd recommend reaching out to our Support team, who can help with more in-depth troubleshooting.
Keep the feedback coming!

GREAT WORK AROUND FOR THIS! I'LL BE SURE TO REMIND THE CREW TO USE COMPANYCAM FOR THE VIDEO AND NOT JUST THE PHONE'S PHOTO APP.
