you tube not in full screen - Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans

hi all
cant see YouTube in full screen not in chrome and not in YouTube app
maybe you have soliton ?

If by fullscreen you mean edge-to-edge, you have to pinch-in on the video. That's the case on a lot of android phones.

Most youtube videos aren't desingned for ultra wide screens. You have to zoom the video with your fingers, like you do with pictures, but you'll miss some portions of it.

Watching YouTube videos - they look terrible

On some online demos the vdeos look crisp and clear. On my phone if i select a video from youtube it looks terrible. Even the HD trailer for Tron2 looks bad. Is this normal? Are people in teh demos using special videos for the demo?
Also how do I select an HD version of a video in YouTube? Ir a new resolution?
Is tehre something better than the stock YouTube application?
Thanks!
I don't have a device so can't say for sure how to set it to HD since I think that may be your issue...but have you tried navigating to the mobile Youtub site in your browser?

Left button on the bottom of your phone , there are 4 buttons MENU HOME BACK SEARCH.
You click menu button while watching video with YouTube application and select playback in HQ.
are you connected over cell network or wifi? when the video is playing press menu, more, watch in high quality or their might be a small box in the bottom right corner that says HQ. if it is grey it is low quality, if it is red it is high quality.
if you are connected over cellular data it might be defaulting to low quality.

Is there a horizontal screen flip app?

I have a DIY smartphone projector and the lens flips the image up-side-down. The only available solution is to use a screen rotation lock so that the phone is upside down. The image, however is still horizontally flipped so you can't read text. I can't find an app that horizontally flips screens, but I know there is a video converter app that does this to videos. The problem with that is I'd need to download each video and convert it and then play it.
So my final question is:
Do you know of any screen flipping app or a video player (Like VLC or MX) that has the ability to play videos flipped? (Or if you know any other fix, let me know)
Maybe add a mirror to the DIY projector?

Problem with Full-screen Video Playback

Hello everyone,
I just recently switched from a HTC U11 to this wonderful MI 10 Pro and I couldn't be happier.
There's just one little thing that I realized and I don't know where I did something wrong in my settings or if it's a ROM issue.
Whenever I watch a Video in full screen, the phone kinda cuts off the sides (probably to fit in the full screen instead of putting a black bar over/under the video).
I find this quite annoying because I'm sometimes missing out on important information that's sometimes written on the screen.
This happens with all apps I tried (Instagram/IGTV, YouTube and Kiwi Browser).
Have you experienced that behavior before and how did you solve it?
I attached a Screenshot on how it actually looks like.
EDIT: I'm on MIUI Global 11.0.10.0
Have you tried pinch to zoom out?

Pinch to zoom only works on YouTube and only on horizontal videos. Not working on Instagram at all, Browser at all or on vertical videos on YouTube ?
Are there any settings somewher in the system that I need to check?

Can i Watch 4k YouTube video on poco 3x?

good evening,
i wanted to kindly ask you if, with this device, i could see videos in 4k, for example on youtube (i read that on xiaomi mi 10 lite you see videos in 4k, but i am afraid of having ghost touching problem with that model ). as for LIVE VIEW inside GOOGLE MAPS, how does it behave? go jerky?
I await you and thank you very much, it is important
Hi. The 4k option doesn't show up for me. Not that it matters though. 6.6" display at 1080p resolution wouldn't make a difference anyways (except for huge increase in data usage). As for Google Maps live view it seems to be working just fine though to be honest I find it being a useless gimmick. Some old Nokia phones had a similar feature and it was just as useless back then as it is now.
FYI I use Vanced not thr stock YT app so it might be different there.
You can try to to look for Vanced Youtube
Like I said I use Vanced and even if you set 2160p as your preferred resolution there's no visual difference only in the amount of data pulled to play the video. On like a PC monitor or TV you might notice less compression so it might make sense to use a higher resolution than your display can support but on a tiny smartphone screen? Unless you absolutely have a need to burn through your data without any profit I'd say stay away from 4k.
Trying to watch a 4k or even a 2K video on a 1080p screen ? What's the point ?
You can't display more than effective screen pixels...

Too much margins in streaming video

Some fix for the exaggerated lateral margins that it makes in the videos to the screens of YouTube, Netflix, etc.? You can zoom and fill the screen but the video in its original format, has an excessive crop.
In other Xiaomi devices this does not happen.

First of all, I am pretty sure you posted in the wrong category. This should got to Questions & Answers.
Did you ever play GameBoy Color games on the GameBoy Advance?
If yes, you noticed, that all the games had black margins, except you were resizing the image with the L/R button.
The reason for that is that what is being displayed does not match the resolution of the screen. So if your video is 480*240p then it will have margins on a Full HD or 2k display.
Same goes for any device, like your phone. Previous phones did not have margins, because they probably had a screen resolution of precisely 1920x1080p. So most videos will fit perfectly, because that is a very common resolution for videos.
Now the POCO has a higher resolution: 1080 x 2400, which is not perfectly standard. Your video is guaranteed to not have this resolution, as can be seen from the screenshot. So of course there will be black margins. The only way to "remove" the margins would be to resize your video or get an older phone with a resolution of exactly Full HD.
Conclusively, that's not an issue with your phone or whatever. It's an issue regarding different resolutions, which happens to EVERY device on earth that has a display measured in pixels.
Although they are related it's more of the aspect ratio thing than resolution. Common aspect ratio for content on platforms OP has mentioned is 16:9 where our poco has 20:9 screen. 16:9 was the most popular on mobile devices before the "bezel less" era and still is the most popular for TV.
Try to do the pinch outwards gesture to stretch the video to full screen?
Use the Video Toolbox?
