Extension summary
Works with most websites that include videos through the HTML5
Limitations and known issues:
- May break websites that are coded in exceptionally weird ways (which are more than you think). Disable the extension and reload the page if you have problems with videos not being displayed properly.
- Since video controls are not standardized, when entering windowed fullscreen for a video, most often the site's video controls will be removed and replaced with the browser's default video controls, which may or may not work properly.
- On some websites the video will reset to the start when entering or leaving windowed fullscreen mode.
You may report websites that are not compatible with this extension, but chances are that it is impossible for me to fix the problem. Please blame the website and not the extension :-)

Working as expected! Thank you.
Edit: also I would find it nice to have a hotkey to enter the windowed mode by pressing the button.

Works great.
I'd love the option to add a hotkey to toggle this function.

Today I experienced problems while watching full screen videos on several streaming websites on Brave. Installed many full screen extensions from here and none of them worked. This extension adds a full screen icon wherever we wish to have on it the video screen and once toggled, it zooms the video for us, making it full screen without affecting the video quality. Highly recommended. Thanks for this tool.
A little tip: This tool will only zoom the video, so the title bar of the browser, task bar and the top menu will be still visible. I have a found way for the video to make the video go full screen with no visibility of anything other than video. After installing the extension, open the website that has the video. Click on the top right 3 lines which is the Brave settings. In that menu, you can find a full screen icon right beside in Zoom In and Zoom out slidebar. Click on the full screen icon. It will remove the task bar and title bar, now toggle on the zoom video icon of this tool that is in the video screen. Enjoy full screen viewing now!
