About this extension

This extension permits you to make every YouTube video completely fit your screen when opened in fullscreen mode. Works with every aspect ratio.

From the extension settings, you can choose if you want to automatically enable the extension, or if you want to stretch the video instead of zooming it (and keeping the aspect ratio). You can always enable/disable the extension from the buttons at the right of the YouTube player.

NOTE: After installing, click on the extension and grant the authorization to access YouTube. Otherwise, the extension won't be able to resize the video.

This project is open-source. You can see the source code at: https://github.com/Dinoosauro/youtube-fullscreen-fit

Release notes for 1.3

Added an option to fill the video only if there are black bars at the top/bottom of the screen. This means that, if the height of the screen is completely filled even without updating the video size, the video will remain the same. Consider using this option, for example, if you listen to music via YouTube auto-generated videos and you want to keep the thumbnail as the original size.
