To rotate the screen on a Chromebook, you can use keyboard shortcuts. Here's how:

1. **Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys**: On your Chromebook keyboard, hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys simultaneously.

2. **Press the Refresh key (F5)**: While still holding down the Ctrl and Shift keys, press the Refresh key (F5). The Refresh key typically has an icon that looks like a circular arrow and is located in the top row of keys on the keyboard.

3. **Release the Ctrl and Shift keys**: After pressing the Refresh key, you can release the Ctrl and Shift keys. The screen will rotate 90 degrees clockwise with each press of the Refresh key.

4. **Repeat if necessary**: If you need to rotate the screen further, you can press the Refresh key again while holding down Ctrl and Shift. Each press will rotate the screen an additional 90 degrees clockwise.

5. **Restore to default orientation**: To return the screen to its default orientation, simply press the Refresh key (F5) without holding down the Ctrl and Shift keys.

If your Chromebook has a tablet mode or a touchscreen, you may also be able to rotate the screen by swiping down from the top of the screen to open the Quick Settings menu, tapping the Settings icon, and then tapping the screen rotation icon to cycle through the available orientations. However, this option may not be available on all Chromebooks.
