Full Screen not working for Steam videos

[Simonster]

Hi,

I have been having an issue with Steam for some time now. ANY video i open in steam, the full screen doesn't work. I click full screen and the video enlarges but it is just a black screen. Anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?

thaks in advance.

I am having this issue as well. It was working fine before.

I had this problem too. This fixed it for me:
Open nVidia control panel and set Antialiasing Mode to "Off" or "Application-controlled". I have "Overwrite any application settings" as default. This doesn't work for the Steam client. Super weird.

You are right MayheM7. Thank you. I just set all my nvidia settings to application controlled. I actually just changed this setting about a month ago. Good to know. Steam needs to fix that. Thanks buddy!

Thanks MayheM7 it work for me but you need to remember to press apply in the control panel and restart Steam client.

Just wanna addon to this thread that might help the others, I have the same problem but I am on a intel GPU instead of nVIDIA's one
I fixed it by adjusting the scale and layout option
Right click on desktop and select Display Settings
Change the size of text, apps and other items
I had problem with 175% scaling, my problem is fixed with either 150% or 200%

This doesn't seem to work for me. I am on a 4K monitor and scaling to less than 200% makes everything too small to read and makes the fullscreen window for viewing Steam videos even smaller. I've done everything I could think of including running Steam in compatibility mode but nothing works. it sucks that Steam, who makes so much money, can't fix their app. #FixSteamApp

Having the same problem myself as of right now. It didn't do it before either until new update came out and ruin it.

[Nifes & Velfe Knight]

That fix didn't work for me..... Steam needs to fix that problem ASAP.

[Nifes & Velfe Knight]

All right when i change my Screen Resolution to 1600 x 900 it gets fix, then i set Screen Resolution back to full 1920 x 1080. Steam isn't supporting 125% Scale and Layout and higher. Main root problem is Scale and Layout set to 125% and only way to fix it is to set it to 100% while at 1920 x 1080 then when watching video's. This problem wasn't showing up last time when i click video to watch. Last update cause it.

Same issue for me in 4k

I have this issue on both my PC and the Steam app on Android, so nVidia fix suggestions won't exactly apply to the phone that has the exact same problem.

I fixed it by turning off hardware acceleration on the Steam client so it stops trying to use my GPU.

Steam > Settings > Interface > "Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views"

This allows it to work fulllscreen on the internet browser version of Steam , but not in the actual Steam app itself.

When i click full screen in the app , it shows me one quarter of the video in the top left corner of the screen but the rest is a black screen

Full screen mode just shows one quarter of the screen for me too, and as of the update i cat play Echo VR through revive. Possibly linked? it loads up and then starts tweaking after a few seconds and then crashes
