david 921 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 On my Pro1, I am used to keeping my keyboard open, even when I'm not typing. With the YouTube app, I can switch back and forth between full screen mode (landscape) and exit full screen mode (portrait), by using the icon in the lower right corner of the part of the screen. This allows me to get to the rest of the stuff under the video that shows in portrait mode (share, comments, description, etc.). I simply rotate the phone, with the keyboard open, to access those areas. On the Pro1X, the exit full screen icon doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas if this is a YouTube app issue, Android issue, Pro1X issue, and/or some setting I need to change? I've tried the rotate option in the settings menu and that doesn't affect this behavior. I know some of the areas are accessible at the bottom of the screen when in landscape mode (comments and share), but I prefer to read the comments in in portrait mode (but with the keyboard out). I also can't easily access the navigation buttons. They don't show unless I use the down arrow in the upper left corner, which is an extra step. It may be that google simply changed the UI layout vs what I have on my Pro1, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has noticed this and found a way around it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,421 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Have you tried the Esc key? That works on a PC. (obviously the active keyboard driver could tease here, not actually sending 001Bh) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never tried YouTube on the Pro1X so had to enable it first, the apps does not seem to work that well, so did not try different keyboard-drivers, just killed the app... But launching Yotube in FF it does respect Esc to exit full screen mode - so just a poor aspect of the app I guess, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
