Aaj Tak’s dedicated Vertical Live page requires portrait mode. Hold the phone upright and check whether the page itself changes into portrait. If it continues to show the rotation prompt, inspect the device’s orientation control before treating the prompt as a stream, account or channel problem.
Start with the instruction actually on the page
The official vertical page displays a device-rotation message and states that this format is available in portrait. That instruction concerns the shape of the viewing area. A phone held upright and a page still laid out sideways are different observations; note both instead of assuming that physically turning the handset has changed the browser’s layout.
Confirm that the address is the broadcaster’s vertical live page. Someone may have shared a vertical clip or another live destination with a similar headline. Keep that URL while checking orientation, so a later comparison concerns the same page rather than a different video.
A short observation sequence
Google notes that Android steps can vary by device and manufacturer. Use the handset’s own guide if the named control is absent. This sequence does not require resetting the phone, deleting browser information or changing unrelated video-quality settings.
- With the vertical page open, hold the phone upright and look for the rotation message to clear.
- If the page stays sideways, inspect the phone’s rotation setting and note its existing state.
- On Android, Google documents an Auto-rotate tile in Quick Settings; the setting is also available under Display and touch on supported versions.
- Allow the screen to follow the phone’s upright orientation, return to the same page and check the message again.
- Once portrait is established, treat any new playback message as a separate observation.
Separate three possible outcomes
For example, a viewer might begin with the phone resting sideways on a stand, turn it upright and still see a sideways browser. The useful next question is whether the display follows rotation. By contrast, if the layout becomes portrait and the message disappears, further changes to Auto-rotate add no evidence about a later loading problem.
| After the check | Useful interpretation |
|---|---|
| Prompt clears and portrait page appears | The page’s orientation requirement is satisfied |
| Phone upright but browser remains sideways | Orientation remains the next device question |
| Portrait page appears with a new error | Record the new playback message separately |
Keep the report narrow
If the prompt persists, preserve the page URL, handset model, browser name and whether the browser visibly changed orientation. Include the exact text that remains. A statement such as “the page is portrait but still asks for rotation” is much more specific than “live news does not work”.
A portrait requirement does not establish video resolution, a particular television feed, or support on every phone. Use it to resolve this page’s stated condition, then proceed from the message or controls actually shown. If you need a conventional wide-screen presentation, choose an official destination described for that purpose rather than expecting this vertical page to become one through repeated rotation changes.
