Re: Crop to Fit icon missing for YouTube

Doesn't work. Tried every which way and nothing happens

Really? Interesting. Mine works just pinching the screen.

Re: No icon for full screen youtube?

The YouTube app was replaced with a Pinch to Zoom function. Just got it about an hour ago.

Re: Crop To Fit not working on Youtube.

Guys I found a way around it!!!!
I was playing a video on YouTube and out of curiosity I simply zoomed in the video on landscape mode with my thumbs. I literally just put my fingers around the middle of the screen and pulled them towards the bezels and the video took up the whole screen like if it was using the crop to fit button! I hope this also works for all of you guys. I'm gonna make a separate thread with this info in case you guys don't come back here but search for it in the threads. Have a good day all!!

I still have the Crop button like before. I'm using an unlocked version in case that helps figure this out.

FIXED! Crop-to-fit screen YouTube Issue

So recently the crop to fit button has been missing from my YouTube videos and as a result I wasn't able to enjoy the goodness that comes with the Note 8 screen. I'm happy to report that I might have found a way around it. I was playing a video on YouTube and out of curiosity I simply zoomed in the video on landscape mode with my thumbs. I literally just put my fingers around the middle of the screen and pulled them towards the bezels and the video took up the whole screen like if it was using the crop to fit button! I hope this also works for all of you guys as I'm not sure if this, for some abstruse reason, only works for me. Have a good day all!!

Zooming into the video on landscape form worked for me guys. Just hold the phone on landscape, place your thumbs around the middle of the screen and drag both thumbs towards their respective bezels. I really hope this works for you all.
Also I restarted my phone, if that's worth anything

I restarted my phone as well before it worked, just saying in case its worth anything

Re: Crop to Fit icon missing for YouTube

Hey guys I got the new pinch to zoom feature on my S8+. I also lost the crop to fill button due to the addition of the pinch to zoom feature. I fixed it on my phone by doing the following:

1. Install latest Youtube update (maybe try uninstall and reinstall update if you already have latest)
2. Go into settings -> apps -> youtube -> force stop
3. Open Youtube app (done)

I hope this works for you guys. It seems like I had to force stop the app for it to fully implement the latest update.

This worked for me! Thank you!

Did not work for me. Can't watch full screen .

Did you already reboot your phone?

 

[SDTRMG]

from what I can tell on my s8+ is that youtube updated the app and you can now pinch to zoom to fill the screen. hope that helps

In regards to the pinch to zoom feature, it seems that it's not working for some people sadly. I feel like it is an issue with the new YouTube app. I hope they address it in a bug fix for the folks that the fix isn't working for
