When watching YouTube my screen display for the video starts below the camera cut out instead of using the full display. Why is this?
It's also the same when watching Netflix
I figured it out I needed to go into display settings then full screen apps and change Netflix and YouTube from Auto to Full Screen
Are you asking why the video doesn't go edge to edge?
I'm not sure why by default but if you pinch the screen out it will fill the entire screen.

Hey everyone,
I was wondering, for screen rotation some programs for example Ebuddy, Moboplayer, and watching youtube video full screen does not follow the screen rotation sensor. Is this normal? or is my transformer defective.
Thanks!
Normal, some apps disable the sensor. For exe mobo player have no use in portrait mode when movie is playing full screen.

Anyone know how to lock the screen while watching a video so that when you touch the screen by mistake the video doesn't stop playing? I saw a youtube video that showed how to do it on the GS2 but that dosen't work on the skyrocket.
If you hit the power button while it's playing it will lock the screen. Hope that helps!

Just tried it and it works when playing video files on the phone but it doesn't work when playing through an app like HBO go, any idea for when watching that way?

I noticed that as well. It seems that if we are streaming videos we can't lock the screen. I guess only on ones from the gallery or phone will allow us to do it.

Hi,
I am using several apps where video's are posted like news videos. For instance NOS is a populair newsfeed app with videos in it. When viewing those videos they are played normal with the Samsung s6 Edge portraid stand. This is only a small part of the screen while the videos can be played on a pc for instalnce full screen.
So i turn the phone landscape and assume the the video will go landscape and full screen to but that isn;t the case it has never done that. The video keeps playing a small part of the screen.
The setting in Android is to turn the screen when the phone is turned so when holding the phone landscape the screen is also landscape. When i choose the camera and set it oin video that videoscreen is landscape so that is working good, but not within apps.
Does anyone now how to solve this..?

Videos that play in apps will only play the way the app wants them too. Some apps simply don't allow video rotation.
Ok thx. I had to know that myself....
Hi, I noticed that Amazon's Prime video app does not support Nougat split screen multitasking. Whenever I go in split screen mode it stops the video as soon as I touch the other app in split screen mode.
Now what I want to know is, whether anyone has found a workaround for this?

I found that surprisingly when you are in splt screen node (in app overview long-press amazon prime and slide to top), the trick is to start video playback and almost instantly select the bottom window. Must be realy quick, I use both hands. Try a couple of times...
Any way or any browser that lets you zoom in or force full screen mode, like in the iphone xs max when watching videos? Or like how youtube allows?
I use the samsung browser and haven't been able to figure out any settings to make this happen. You just get the black bars on the left and right when in landscape mode.
Thanks in advance for your help:good:
