YouTube HTML5 Player - Can't go fullscreen

[ssbtech]

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.
