I can't fullscreen video Qubes OS - FIX

Community Guides

Warning: Applying the first solution is potentially dangerous!

There is two ways to fix it.

First Solution:

  1. open your qube settings
  2. click to advanced
  3. on the right you can see allow fullscreen, change use system default to allow
  4. restart your qube (if it is running)

Second Solution (if fullscreen mode FPS so bad):

  1. start your qube
  2. go to video (for this example, i will show youtube.)
  3. you can see on the right-middle on the video, picture in picture button.
  4. when you clicked new tab is opened for video, now do it fullscreen and enjoy your video as fullscreen

Bonus solution: You can research “fps problem fullscreen qubes”

I think there is several things missing here:

  • a warning about security, like this: How to enter fullscreen mode | Qubes OS
  • the Alt + F11 shortcut should be the first and preferred way
  • anyway, this solution and your first solution should be in the docs (outdated right now)
  • your second solution seems to be specific to youtube, I tried to follow it but I’m not sure to understand what to do (click on the icon labeled “Miniplayer”?) and why.

I made a pull request to update the docs:

It will look like this:
