safari youtube issue

When I play a youtube video full screen in safari the video title stays at the top and the play/scrub bar for youtube stays at the bottom. They do not disappear like they are supposed to.


AFAIK I am running the latest Safari and OSX Sierra (not high Sierra just Sierra) please help me.

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), iMac 2017 1080p

If the above doesn't work:

Launch YouTube video.



When the video is running at the top left corner of the window,

don't click the Full Screen button at the bottom right corner of the video.

Instead right click on the video.

White on black contextual menu will appear. Ignore it.

Right click on the video again.

Choose "Enter Full Screen" from the contextual menu.

Video will play without Title.

Controls will be viewable for a while.


Use "esc" key on the keyboard to exit.
