Youtube on IE to full screen

As titled, how can you get the Youtube on the Internet explorer to go full screen, if possible?

Yes, I know there is an app. Unfortunately I prefer not to use it.

YouTube App Freezing 360

I have got to ask, Why don't you just watch youtube on Internet Explorer?

-

On IE you get full service (unlike the limited service you get on the youtube app) and all videos use HTML5. Plus all the videos load really quickly. Sometimes they actually load quicker than Firefox.

 

IE on XB1

I use a PC mostly (Firefox, Chrome & IE for dev stuff) although when on the couch I'll use IE for gaming related videos, news etc...

I'm not going to lie, IE on Xbox is poor, on full screen it works fine and is fit for purpose but the moment you snap all hell breaks loose. It's a bit to do with poorly optimised websites, and a lot to do with the horrible zooming function.

For some reason it'll chop parts out of the width (so you miss text) or sometimes it'll break over to the side (so you can't scroll the full width) so you have to zoom out to see the content - which now is too small to read on my 40" 1/5 of screen.

Man I could go on and on, but for me snapped IE is the worst thing since IE6. I do love the quick swapping between 3 apps and the game, very cool at a loading screen swapping to full screen IE to do something else.

 

Pretty sure the app is the only way and is there a reason you dont want to use it

 

On the xbox one I mean....

 

Hi Jay

Because there is no volume control!

It is still too loud, even with my TV settings.

 

Ahhh yeah i read your other post lol

 

Just get the youtube app. Who uses IE on a console? Probably older people who are old school. Most of my friends watch videos on youtube not IE, for xbox. As for volume, you can adjust the volume on every TV. As for IE i prefer uzing it on my PC.

 

Try using Kinect and the command "Xbox Show Full Screen Video".

Works on some content but not all.

 

Because the Youtube app has no volume control and it is too loud even on the smallest setting on my tv.

And I don't have a receiver.... and I don't have Kinect ...

Nevermind. Good job the controller has a 3.5mm jack for headphones
