The Elusive Fullscreen Button: A Hunt Worthy of Indiana Jones (But Easier)
First things first, there's a sneaky little button on the Hulu app that, when tapped, expands your video to fill the entire screen. This magical button is usually depicted by a box with four outward-facing arrows. Just fire up Hulu, pick your poison (a show, a movie, anything that tickles your fancy), and press play. Once the video starts rolling, scan the bottom right corner of your screen. There it is, your fullscreen freedom fighter! A gentle tap, and POOF! Your video expands to fill the screen, banishing the black bars to oblivion.
But wait, you cry, what if this mystical button isn't there? Don't panic! There's a chance you've encountered a temporary glitch in the Hulu Matrix.

The Force Awakens...The Force of Rotation, That Is
Here's where things get a little more Mission: Impossible than Indiana Jones. If the button is MIA, unlock the secret power of your iPhone's rotation lock. This cunning maneuver involves:
- Swiping down from the top right corner of your screen to access the Control Center.
- Spotting the rotation lock icon (it looks like a little phone with an arrow in a circular path).
- Tap that icon to disable it.
Now, with rotation lock vanquished, tilt your iPhone sideways while your video is playing. Voila! The video should automatically switch to fullscreen mode, making the most of your iPhone's beautiful display.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Remember: This rotation trickery might not always work, but it's a handy alternative when the button goes rogue.
