Sometimes the rotate screen on Chromebook feature may stop working because of disabled auto-rotation settings. Open Quick Settings and ensure auto-rotate is turned on, especially for touchscreen Chromebooks. Updating ChromeOS can also fix bugs that prevent the rotate screen on Chromebook function from working correctly.
