There is another method that Playwright gives which is passing the chrome options like --start-maximized or --start-fullscreen . If this method doesn't work for you, try passing these in the config file.

How can we maximize the screen like selenium? Still, I can see some areas left on the left/top side, Is there any solution for that?

Hi Mukesh,
I don't know is it a right place to ask this question, Does playwright support for OTT platform application as u know it has all almost audio and video playing. Also can u suggest is there any specific/good tool that support for OTT.
Appreciate to the way you presents.

Is it the best practice to declare the viewport in the same test file? I want to specify the viewport in each test file because I will test on Desktop and Mobile size. But I'm not sure if it is the best way.. 😢

Thanks for the tutorial
setViewportSize changes the height and width of the window
but not its position
do we have something to replicate selenium window maximize in playwright?

Hello, I get following any Idea why?
Error: Playwright Test did not expect test.use() to be called here.
Most common reasons include:
- You are calling test.use() in a configuration file.
- You are calling test.use() in a file that is imported by the configuration file.
- You have two different versions of @playwright/test. This usually happens
when one of the dependencies in your package.json depends on @pla

What if I run the code in an extended screen whose view port size is different. It won't work there. This method doesn't look like an ideal solution.

How to set browser zoom level to 67% view rather than 100% as per the application need?

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:18 🌐 *Playwright lacks a direct method to maximize the screen, but the "viewport" feature provides a solution to set and get the width and height of the browser page.*
02:11 📏 *Use the "viewport" feature to dynamically change screen size based on testing requirements. Capture and print width and height, adjusting them as needed.*
04:27 ⚙️ *Set viewport size globally in `playwright.config.js` for the entire project. For test-specific changes, use `test.use` in the test file, allowing flexibility in adapting viewport settings.*

I want to run test in headless mode and screen maximized. Is it possible?

[alexandre_borissov]

the name of this video is confusing: there's no info on maximizing the window - just on setting viewport size.
