Youtube fullscreen leaves gap?

[Octavialicious]

I'm really confused atm, never encountered this glitch. Essentially when watching YT in fullscreen, the video is shifted a little bit and I can see part of my wallpaper in the background

 

 

It's hard to see but at the top right and top you can see a little purple, which is my desktop wallpaper. Any ideas? I've restarted my PC several times and changed the scaling option in nvidia control panel to fullscreen.

 

Thanks!

Test it on a different browser and what is the current browser your using to view Youtube?

Are you running Java, HTML5, or have both activated at the same time?

Make sure your add-ons don't conflict with the Youtube videos and that goes for newly installed add-ons.

Yeah none of the add ons did it, disabled them and it was still happening. I will try Edge, and I'm using only HTML5 I think

If I remember correctly, this was a problem due to Adobe Flash. If you are using Chrome, that should fix the problem. If not, try uninstalling Adobe Flash and running it once more after you restarted your browser. I personally use Chrome, and I don't really like Edge nor Firefox.

 

Also, go here,

https://www.youtube.com/html5

 

Make sure your browser is supporting html5.

 

If you are using Chrome, check to make sure you allowed Youtube to have Full Screen access,

Go to www.youtube.com

the "padlock" next to the youtube address bar, click on it, and go down to "site settings,"

screen down to where you see, "Full Screen," and make sure it is allowed.

If still you're confused how to give Chrome permission to allow FullScreen, go here,

Also, check if your browser is fully updated to the current version.

Another step is to also check if you have current drivers for your video card.

The youtube magic actions extension on chrome allows you to force HTML5 always

That's such a weird extension. My best guess is that all it does is just disable Adobe Flash Player in chrome://plugins, which really.. seems useless. Meh, I don't know. But if you want to always have HTML5 over Adobe, you can just disable it under chromes plugin.

 

To OP,

Go to Chrome://Plugins

Where you see Adoble Plugin, click "disable." *You might need to restart browser/computer*

Tell me what happens after, thanks.

How is that weird?

It lets you

-force default resolution

-force disable annotations

-force better video preloading

-force html5

-disable certain parts of the youtube screen like description, or comments, or recommended videos, etc..

-enable a "dark mode" which looks awesome

-and a bunch of other things

Seems to be a recent problem.

Open the video again that was giving you trouble, and go into Full Screen. After, press F11.
