Q&A: Why can’t I watch Youtube videos full screen?

Posted on April 30, 2013

youtube-logoQuestion from Anita P.:  Hi Rick. I hope you can help me. I’m semi-addicted to Youtube and I watch it every day.

I like watching the videos full screen but about a week ago the full screen feature stopped working. Is there any way I can get it to work again? I use Google Chrome as my web browser.

Rick‘s answer:  Hi Anita. I haven’t encountered this problem before, but after doing a quick Google search I found out that lots of other people have. Here is the solution that seems to work for most people: 

1 – Load Chrome and type (or copy and paste) this into the address bar:

chrome://plugins

2 – Press the Enter key.

3 – Find the Adobe Flash Player section and click Disable under the PepperFlashPlayer.plugin entry (it will be labeled Shockwave Flash).

4 – Now go to Youtube and see if you can view videos in full screen mode once again.

Give this a try Anita, and if you don’t mind I’d love to know whether it worked for you or not. Thanks!

Update from Anita: Rick, you’re awesome! It works now. Thank you so much!!!!!!
