Having issues with full-screen mode?

  • Bear in mind that YouTube videos on other websites, like blogs or news articles, may not have a full screen option.
  • If you have problems viewing videos, make sure that you are using the most up-to-date version of your browser.
When in full-screen mode, you can scroll down to read comments and check which videos are up next. Scroll back up to hide everything except the video.
