How to Rotate a Video in Windows Media Player:

Windows Media Player is the default player pre-installed by Microsoft on every Windows Operating System. But, unfortunately, it doesn't have the feature to rotate a video.

Hence, there are two options.

Rotate the video using Online or Offline Tool
Use a multi-feature Media Player.

Rotate the video using Online or Offline Tool:

There are several online and offline tools that will help you rotate the video permanently. You can either install the Free Windows Movie Maker Software or go for a free online tool.

So, if you ask me which is better? I would say it depends on the file size. If you have a smaller size file (Let's say 100 MB or less). Then use the Online Tool. If the file size is large, it would take time to upload the download time. So, use the offline method.

How to Rotate a Video using Online Tools:

To Rotate a Video online, you need to go to Clideo.com
Here you can either browse and open the video or simply drag & drop.

Once the video is uploaded, click on the Rotate Buttons if you want to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise or anticlockwise, or 180 degrees, as per your requirements.
Finally, you can click on the Export button. Moreover, you can even change the File Format of the video (so that you can play it on all devices).

How to Rotate a Video using Offline Tools:

Luckily, Windows also provides a Free Video Editor, which is pre-installed on your PC.

Click on the Search Icon and type Video Editor, and open the App.
Here, click on New Project Video. Next, click on the Add button and add the video files you want to rotate.

Next, click on the Place in Storyboard button.

Now, the rotate button will be available, as you can see in the image. Rotate the video to the required orientation, and click on Finish Video.

Here, you can choose the Video Resolution (We suggest you keep the default resolution)

Finally, you have to select the export folder and enter the file name.

Now, you can watch video on any device as the orientation of the video is changed permanently.

How to Rotate Video in VLC (Temporarily):

With VLC Media Player, it is a lot easier for the users to rotate video. Still, you can follow this tutorial to understand How to Rotate Video in VLC. There is no shortcut for rotating the video in the VLC player, so you should follow the manual procedure.

First, click on the Tools menu and select the Effects and Filters option.

Now, click on the Video Effects tab and then Geometry Tab.

Next, check on the Transform Box, and choose the orientation from the drop-down menu. You can rotate at 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and even flip the video horizontally or vertically.

Moreover, you can check the Rotate option and use the slider to rotate the video at any angle as per your requirement.

Finally, click on the save button to save the settings.

Note that it is a temporary rotation. When you close the player and re-play the video it will be playing in the original orientation. To make it permanent, you can either use the Online or Offline tools I mentioned above or do it from VLC Media Player as well.

VLC Rotate Video Permanently:
