Problem when entering fullscreen mode on YouTube
From many days I am seeing that sometimes when I try to enter fullscreen mode on YouTube, a weird thing occurs, the browser does not go to fullscreen mode, stays in windowed mode and the video shows a very weird resolution which appears to be a square on the screen.
I have also sent feedback about this issue through the in-app feedback tool (Alt+Shift+I) in Microsoft Edge.
- I don't know is this problem solved or not but I'm facing this problem recently.
I'm using Microsoft Edge Version 92.0.878.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit).
When I'm watching YouTube videos in full screen it is suddenly freezing and browser become non-responsive. I've to use Task Manager to close the browser.
This problem started from the recent edge dev updates and YouTube homepage also showing different by blank box on the first row video thumbnail.
Hope this fix in the next update.
Thank You.Hi MahamKali ,
I'm on 92.0.873.1 and for the moment I'm having no issues.
I had that kind of behavior with 91.x
- I´am on Version 90.0.818.56 (Offizielles Build) (64-Bit) and my YouTube crashes on fullscreen too! Now i need to watch YouTube on Google Chrome.
- the bug have not been fixed yet.
But I found a "solution" for this,
when the bug appears press F5 to restart the video, the bug fixes himself - juhua
Microsoft
TheShaunSaw This issue is appeared again on my Surface Pro 7 i7 Edge Dev 86.0.622.3!!!!! Please fix it!
- Not on my Surface Pro 3 with the same build.
- Still getting this bug, doesn't happen only on Youtube but with any fullscreen video.
Problem is usually fixed by refreshing the page.
On Netflix video goes fullscreen but is choppy until a refresh and is then fixed.- Can confirm that this still happens with my Surface Pro 3 with 86.0.587.0 build
Still there also on 86.0.599.0, doesn't happen in beta channel.
Deleted 🔥I completely reset the Edge Dev on my computer by deleting the User Data folder, and kept it as the latest version, and disabled all extensions.
Trying again, I found that YouTube videos still have this problem, which is very confusing. 🚀https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khuxxP0owkw

Hi!
Has happened again in Version 86.0.587.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit)Just started appearing for me with 86.0.587, on my X1 Yoga on 20H1.
Fixed!!
Build Dev - 85.0.564.17- Edge Versione 86.0.590.0 (Build ufficiale) canary (64 bit)
Hardware acceleration enabled
Issue solved, Youtube full screen mode works like a charm. Yes, according to this week's top feedback summary, fix to this bug was recently identified and should be in the next week's dev build.
Just updated Edge to 85.0.564.17 and not yet corrected.
Still only happens with Surface Pro 3 for me.
Let's hope for the next build 🙂
Same problem in Edge v.85.0.564.13 (dev build).
TheShaunSaw I didn't encountered that problem, It's working fine for me on Version 84.0.522.40 (Official build) (64-bit) having enabled the hardware acceleration also, maybe it's related to your laptop or You Tube itself
- In fact this happens with my Surface Pro 3 and not with my Lenovo L480!
