I'm not familiar with this API but it looks like it's just not finalized yet: https://w3c.github.io/screen-orientation

mlamouri@ might know more

I tried screen.orientation.lock('landscape') on Lenovo N20P chromebook on chrome os 68 but I get the error this api is not supported on the device.

I tried the app in kiosk mode , on non kiosk mode and also on the Chromium browser both in fullscreen and non fullscreen mode and I get the same error  i.e this api is not supported on the device..

So is the lock orientation javascript api supported by chromeos, if yes then which devices and os version is it supported
