I was looking all over the place for a setting in youtube or chrome that turned my display into a bigger picture with controls off to the side and below, where I couldn't see them. I just put my fingers together and it became smaller., and I'm good. Thanks for sharing.

This option is not available in my settings. 😢

How about on a wide screen monitor using a pc? I don’t see those options

[GisleVanem]

I find that the mouse cursor is still visible in full-screen mode with my new wired mouse. Was not the case with my previous wireless mouse.
But moving the cursor to the far right of the screen, it becomes invisible. And I'm on Win-10 using Chrome if that matters.

How to do it for videos playing on browser. Not just YouTube any video playing on browser. I am iPhone user and you can pinch in chrome to fill full screen video. Just bought Samsung s23 ultra and it doesn’t allow that. Any suggestion

[Watermeloneditzzz]

For anyone complaining about it not working this guys whole channel is literally all about creating fake "how to fix" videos

[Epic_bacon]

Is this when you upload videos or when you watch other videos

Hi, I just have full screen, but with every commercial video the screen sprints from full screen to a small image and then remains small. Do you happen to know what the problem could be. tnx..
