Hi riyapakale,


In order to enter full screen while using Safari, try these steps:


  1. "On your Mac, move the pointer to the green button in the top-left corner of the window, then choose Enter Full Screen from the menu that appears or click the button .
  2. The menu that appears when you move the pointer over the green button in the top-left corner of a window. Menu commands from top to bottom include: Enter Full Screen, Tile Window to Left of Screen, Tile Window to Right of Screen.
  3. In full screen, do any of the following:
    • Show or hide the menu bar: Move the pointer to or away from the top of the screen. If you deselected the option to hide and show the menu bar in full screen, the menu bar is always shown.
    • Show or hide the Dock: Move the pointer to or away from the Dock’s location.
    • Move between other apps in full screen: Swipe left or right on the trackpad with three or four fingers, depending on how you set your trackpad preferences.
  1. To stop using the app full screen, move the pointer to the green button again, then choose Exit Full Screen from the menu that appears or click the button ."

If you're still unable to launch a video in full screen, let us know the macOS version you're running. This can be found in the Apple menu under 'About This Mac'.



Cheers!
