Safari Video Player Zooming Problem

i recently switched from iphone 8 to iphone 11 pro and i noticed my safari video player keep messing up with the screen size of video that i watched. it automatically zoomed in the video if i watch it on horizontal. here's the example:

my safari video player on vertical mode:

my safari player video on horizontal mode:

as you can see, the logo on right top of my screen was cut almost in half when i watched it on horizontal mode.

i tried to change all of my iphone settings related to zoom (like page zoom on safari settings and zoom on overall iphone settings) but it didn't work out at all. anyone had experience with this? thank you in advance!

Full Screen Mode on IPhone X doesn’t work on Safari? On safari, you can’t make the video your playing full screen. For example, on safari, if I go to YouTube and click on a video, when I turn my phone horizontally, the video doesn’t turn. This is a problem for any videos, on any website, on safari. Please help, thank you.

YouTube full screen glitch. Please help. When using safari (on my iPad mini gen 5), when I play a YouTube video from the browser and go full screen I sometimes get this glitch where the video only takes up a quarter of the screen. The quickest resolution is to turn my iPad right side up and then back in the position I was using it (I keep it on its side due to my keyboard case). Sometimes the issues will randomly resolve itself but I’d rather not have to constantly take my secret from the keyboard dock to get the video to play in full screen as it should. Please help. P.S. For what it is worth, I do have my text slightly larger on my iPad mini. I could just use the app but I prefer the way it works on the browser.

Youtube videos in Safari are cropped in full screen Youtube videos Safari are cropped in full screen. This does not happen e.g. in Firefox I'm not a 100% sure, but it seems that this issue started when I recently updated to Version 12.3.1 (21E258) Here's a screenshot of the video not in full screen mode (the elbow on the right is in the frame): And here's a screenshot of the same scene in full screen (the elbow on the right is not fully in the frame):
