    Two screens, full screen online video reverts to window


    Hello!

    I have two screens connected to my system, one with VGA that is my main screen where I work and a TV with HDMI that I use to watch some serials that I miss while they air. So I go to my favorite TV channel website and start watching the last episode I missed. I click to make the video full screen on the secondary screen while I work at the primary screen. The problem is that the video reverts to window mode after a few seconds, it doesn't stay full screen. This happens only in dual screen mode. I have no problem when I only have one screen active. It happens in both Firefox and Microsoft Edge. How can I solve this? I want the video to stay in full screen mode in the secondary screen while working on the primary screen. I believe it has something to do with losing focus. Please help.

    I found a workaround, a Firefox plugin that forces an online video to fill the screen and that combined with F11 (full screen browsing) does the job. The problem is that the video window is simply stretched to fill the screen, so it is not the same quality with actually enabling full screen mode, Any help appreciated.

    Thank you in advance!

    :)

    Looking for help with laptop screen

    It's quite easy to replace a screen, try to find a disassembly guide for the specific model of laptop so you have a step by step indication of where to take screws out and what clips to unclip. There might be some youtube videos as well. Always make sure the replacement screen is compatible as there can be different connectors.

    They, also, have some other options there, too.
