      • Click on that icon to enter fullscreen mode.

    2. Keyboard Shortcut:

      • Press F on your keyboard (for most players like YouTube).
      • Alternatively, you can try pressing Ctrl + F or Cmd + F (on Mac).

    For Desktop Video Players (VLC, Windows Media Player, etc.)

      • Right-click on the video and select “Fullscreen” or look for the fullscreen icon.

    2. Keyboard Shortcut:

    For Mobile Apps

    1. Tap the Video:

      • Simply tap on the video to bring up the controls, then look for the fullscreen option and tap it.

      • Some apps support pinch-to-zoom or double-tap to enter fullscreen.

    Other Considerations

    • Make sure your browser or app is up to date to avoid issues with fullscreen functionality.
    • If you experience problems with fullscreen mode, check your device's display settings or browser settings.
