This article shows you how to fix fullscreen errors that arise when watching YouTube with Google Chrome. This error can cause part of your browser or desktop to be displayed while in full screen mode, or worse, the feature is turned off. Usually restarting the browser or computer can solve the problem, but if that still doesn’t work, you need to customize some settings to prevent the full screen error from occurring.

Refresh (reload) the page. Sometimes the YouTube page doesn’t load properly, causing graphics errors while viewing. If this is the reason why you are getting the full screen error, press the F5 key or click the “Refresh” button

Try using full screen mode when Chrome is not fully zoomed in. If your Chrome window takes up all of the screen, it can cause part of the desktop to be visible when watching YouTube in full screen mode. You can fix this by clicking the square button in the upper right corner of the window (Windows) or the green button in the upper left corner of the window (Mac) and then trying to use YouTube in full screen mode .

Use Google Chrome’s full screen mode. If part of your desktop is displayed when YouTube is in full screen mode, press F11 (on Windows) or ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + F (on Mac) to set up Google Chrome in full screen mode. This step helps to enlarge the YouTube window to fit the screen.

Understand when to disable extensions. If you notice that the full-screen error occurs right after installing an extension, there’s a good chance that extension is the cause. Disabling (but not Removing) the extension can help fix the problem.
- Chrome updates can also cause some old extensions to become unstable, resulting in potentially strange bugs.
