You already know about the full screen mode in YouTube video player that scales the current video to fill the entire screen.
The big problem in full screen mode in YouTube video player is that you can’t do anything else on the computer while the video is playing - you have to exit the full screen before initiating any other tasks.
There’s an excellent alternative to a full screen and that’s about auto resizing the video player to fit the browser window. When you resize the browser window, the dimensions of YouTube video player will change accordingly.
Here’s how you fit the YouTube video in the browser window.
Say a YouTube video url is
To watch this clip in the resizable browser window without switching to full screen, just rewrite the above url as
In other words, just append the YouTube VIDEO ID to this URL www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID and maximize your browser. You can then easily switch to other tabs, open new tabs, open new applications or do anything else while the YouTube clip is still playing in the maximum possible area.
So how is the trick???
