Youtube full screen mode only shows 1/4 of the video

This is what I see with Youtube videos in Safari when I go full screen:

Only the upper left quadrant of the video screen has content. The rest of the screen is black.

I have watched other videos in full screen on other websites, and it worked fine.

Hello everyone,

I had the same issue too until I went to the Apple Store wherein they checked out my settings.

I have find a solution to this issue!
If you have an external wireless mouse or USB, this is something that might cause the issue. To fix the issue, follow the following steps.
Optional:
Restart your MacBook.
Steps:
Go to System Preferences ---> General ------> Show Scroll bars -------> Change to "When scrolling."
Go to YouTube on Safari and the problem should be fixed now! 🙂
