Videos only play on Fullscreen mode and when I exit fullscreen it pauses. I am new to ios and came from andriod. I don’t like watching videos on full screen coz i like reading comments and other stuff on the same website while watching. Is there a fix on this coz on andriod, i dont have any problem on this. Specifics pf the problem/indept explanation: Whenever I watch a Video on a specific website both on chrome and safari, it forces me to watch on fullscreen even whend im on portrait mode. and when i exit or scroll down it pauses the video. I want it to watch not on fullscreen though. Is there a way to fix this problem??

Not able to open fullscreen Does anyone know how to make your screen go to full screen while streaming live in the cbs app or the Paramount + app? I am using an iPad Air and all my apps/os are updated. I have tried to click the icon to expand the screen and just these 2 apps will not go fullscreen. Any suggestions?

If the app that you are using is not allowing for the video screen to expand, then you cannot get to full screen by force. I recommend that you send feedback to the app's developer to allow full screen video play.
