Another way to rotate your Chromebook screen is by using the settings menu. You can access the settings menu by clicking on the clock icon in the lower right corner of your screen and then clicking on the gear icon. Alternatively, press the Launcher key (the one with a circle) and then type “settings” in the search box.
Once in the settings menu, scroll down and click “Device”. Then, click on “Displays”. You will see a slider that lets you adjust the rotation of your screen. You can drag the slider to any angle you want, from 0 degrees to 360 degrees. Moreover, you can also use the buttons below the slider to rotate your screen by 90 degrees in either direction.
You can also use this menu to adjust display settings, such as resolution, brightness, and night light.
