YouTube videos are always zoomed in for some reason. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’ve been dealing with this issue ever since I upgraded my 2022 iPad Pro to iPadOS 17.2 two days ago. Essentially, every time I try to watch a YouTube video, my screen zooms in immensely when in full screen. It’s to the point where I can no longer see parts of the buttons. I can also move the screen around when I am zoomed in, with two grey bars appearing on the bottom and left side of the screen.. If anyone knows how to fix this, please reach out to me. This issue has been irking me for a while, and the only way I’ve found out fix it is by request the mobile version of them website before reverting it back to it’s desktop state. And yet, even after that, the issue still occurs when I enter another video. I would like to thank you for taking your time to read my complaint and potentially offering help in advance. I wish you a wonderful day.


All the best, - Seyi

I’m having this issue, but on my Apple TV. Also on tvOS 17.2. You open the video, and it’s HUGELY zoomed in, it looks horrible. The only way to fix it is to close the video and reopen it. It doesn’t happen in the menu, or when selecting video, it’s like only when you’re choosing a video for the first time. I have no idea what’s going on.
