    YouTube HTML5 Player - Can't go fullscreen


    With more websites (usually forums) displaying the HTML5 version of the YouTube player embedded in their pages, I've noticed that it's not possible to enter full-screen from that player. I always have to copy the video URL and open it up in a new tab directly on the YouTube site in order to watch full-screen.

    This is using IE11 on both Windows 7 and 10.

    If anyone has any tips, that'd be great! Thanks.

    (PS, I'm also a mod on a forum where some members are having this problem. I don't know if it's how the video is embedded into the page, or a problem with the device itself.)

    Hi,
    html5 as far as I know does not support full screen it only supports theater mode
    You'd need to use flash player to use full screen mode.

Hi guys I finally updated IE9 to latest IE11. Whilst not a total convert to IE11 it's perhaps not as bad as I thought. However an annoying issue has cropped up. On youtube I have always had HTML5 as the preferred player where possible. But since updating to IE11 flash is now always being used....

I know you can easily opt in and out of the trial but I wanted to see how others running IE9 find using youtube HTML5. On my system which is a sandy bridge laptop (win 7 ultimate) everything runs brilliant under normal flash. But for HTML5 not so good. Embedded HTML5 vids within YouTube run fine...
Title says it all. I've had this problem since I used the IE9 Beta. I was hoping it would be fixed in the RC, but it hasn't, leading me to believe that it's an issue with my computer. Does anyone know why my computer won't play the audio in HTML5 YouTube videos while using IE9 RC? I can do it with...
