Google Chrome Video Full-screen

    I hope this is the right place!

    When I'm watching videos, or live streams, I like to keep tabs on my other tabs.
    Is it possible to have full-screen not to go full screen, just to fill the window itself?
    Here is an example!

    I would love to have this feature! Is is possible at all?

    I installed this which lets you resize the youtube video (creates links at the bottom of the vid). Also lets you download and have "theater mode" (click the light icon).

    Tried it already. Lets say I'm watching a football stream. I would like the full-screen to remain within the window, not take over all of my screen!

    Well first of all, you're welcome. Second this might be what you're looking for.

    You just change the link from v= to just /v/.

    Amazing what a quick googling comes up with! :pac:

    Then this is the only way to do it. You want it full window, you have it full window. I don't understand what you're getting at. The only other option is having it full screen. This means you can't see other tabs/windows until you close/minimize the video.

    I'm sorry if haven't explained myself very well.
    I would like this: http://www.youtube.com/v/weUHwCjeD7s on all flash streams from all websites!

    Flash Game Maximizer (FF addon), works with youtube as well (just tested it), fiddle around with it to see if it suits your needs.
    Click a button or hit the hot-key to maximize (almost) any Flash content to the entire browser window.

    To re-size the YouTube videos to browser window size first edit the embed code, specify the width and height as your required. That its your video will re-sized.
