Safari randomly flips Camera orientation in Video calls

Hey,

I have been experiencing a strange error in safari on my iPad for the last few weeks. Whenever I connect my iPad to the magic keyboard and take part in a video call in safari (Google Meets, for example), the camera (i.e. my picture) jumps from landscape to vertical mode after a few minutes. I can then remove the iPad from the magic keyboard and turn it once to vertical orientation and back again and then the camera is back in landscape mode, but when I connect it again, it jumps back to vertical mode after a few minutes. However, this only affects the camera, Safari itself remains in landscape mode. I have already tried to block the display rotation, but unfortunately that didn't work. I tested a different browser today (Brave) and didn't have this error. So it seems to be a problem with Safari.

I am using a 3rd generation 11 inch iPad pro. I just checked for updates again, I seem to be using the latest version of Safari.

It would be very nice if someone could help me with this issue.


iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
