Why can't i use the full screen button on YouTube or other online video sites?

Question

All I get is a black screen; it must just be a setting or something. Can anyone point me in the right direction on fixing this? I have used full screen before so I know it’s not anything hardware related.

Answer 1

The solution to your problem could very well depend on which

version of "flash" you have installed.



While the video is in regular mode (not "full screen"), right-click

on the video itself. From the drop-down menu, click "Settings".

If you get 5 icons on the very bottom row, you might be in luck.



The first 2 icons should both show you a monitor. Click the one

that features a graphic on the bottom of its screen (usually the

first icon). You should thus get "Enable hardware acceleration".

Whatever the box shows you, click the opposite, and then click

on "Close".



Although my advice seemingly goes against the basic principle

of "flash", it actually works. You can always double-check for

yourself by going to Flash's own website. Here is the complete

URL address typed out in full, followed by its direct link:

If this doesn't work for you, and you have the stupid Google Web

Accelerator, please trash it -- it actually ruins YouTube.



Also, stay away from YouTube's beta homepage and any other

utilities or downloaders that people here on Y!A may be shilling,

because their responses have absolutely nothing to do with your

question, and their products may actually worsen your problem.

Besides, what kind of boffo answer is [my paraphrase] "Although

you can't access or watch videos properly, get this downloader."



If all else fails, you might have to go to your "control panel" and

tweak the colors of your "screen resolution" to "16-bit".



Whatever happens, I would very much appreciate it if you could

let me know which solutions worked (and which ones did not)

by clicking my avatar or emailing me at [e-mail].

Answer 2

In this case, you can try to download the vid before watching.

I'm using Moyea flv downloader. It downloads very fast with high quality and supports full screen.



And it is FREE.

It is very easy to handle.



You needn't get the url when downloading the vid.

Just press "start recording"

Click in the page where the vid is playing

The downloader will automatically save it to your hard disk.



Then you can watch it with the embeded flv player.



You can search "flv downloader" on google.com for more info.
