totally, in order to that, I think developers need to force phones to always record horizontally.The counter-argument to that could be "but what if I like vertical video and I want the video to fill up my screen when I hold it vertically"
Then you just double tap on the 16:9 video for it to scale up and zoom full screen on vertical mode. Yes, you won't be able to see 2/3rds of the capture, but you don't really cared about that in the first place. However, if you happen to download (or upload) the video outside your phone, then people will be able to appreciate the 2/3rds of the capture you recorded.
Simple.

Because people hold their phones vertically. Shooting vertical makes more sense to people. Who wants to hold their phone and watch a tiny widescreen vid on it. Vertical fits better obviously.
- what?? turn your phone landscape, then you see the video take up the whole screen.iCanHazQBN
- Just saying dude, people dont shoot vids like that with their phones. Doesnt make logical sense to them.CygnusZero4

I think phones should keep recording in horizontal mode even when holding it vertically. your camera crops so much information with it records vertically

I really don't mind vertical video. Makes sense when I'm watching on my phone or tablet. Maybe youtube should get with the times already and optimize for alternate aspect ratios.
The only thing that sucks is when someone switches orientation part way through the video and you have to watch most of the video sideways.

- you mean, youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, standard television sets, movie theaters, projection screens,
Miguex - makes sense when watching on your phone or tablet? just turn your device and watch the video in proper landscape.iCanHazQBN

Miguex did you have as much of a hard time when we switched from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio for TV? Like whoa, I don't need that extra side space.
Or how about this to melt your brain... why aren't screens round (and photographs as well) lenses are circular and capture in that manner?
- because human vision is horizontal. also, pixel matrices are necessarily rectangular.detritus
