Watch videos on browser

Hi, so when you watch videos on the safari browser. The video will open up and starts playing in the middle of the screen, taking only a small part of the screen in the middle. If you were to change the orientation of the phone, you can watch it full screened. However is there any way to let it stay in full screened while the phone is hand vertically? As i want to lie down on my bed and be able to watch the video on full screen still. Cheers

What you describe "is" full screen in portrait/vertical mode. The video needs to be "right side up" for viewing. It goes as wide as it can.


Do you want to watch it sideways? Try orientation lock.

What i meant was. When you are sitting upright, and you wish to view the video in fullscreen, you have to turn the iphone to landscape. However what if you wan to still view it in full screen while the phone is still in portrait mode? The reason why I am asking this is because #1 when i lie down on bed, it turns back non full screen #2 when i turn it to full screen and do rotation lock, it switches back to portrait mode.
