The Fullscreen Force Awakens (Literally, Tap a Button)
Here's the magic trick, and it's about as difficult as mastering the lightsaber moves of a young Skywalker:
- Fire Up Hulu: Open the Hulu app and get ready to dive into your favorite show.
- Target the Tiny Treasure: Once your show starts playing, look for the fullscreen icon. It's usually a little box with outward-facing arrows, and it might be hiding near the bottom right corner of your screen.
- A Tap is All It Takes: Give that icon a friendly tap. Poof! Your show expands to glorious fullscreen mode, filling every inch of your phone's display with visual goodness.
Pro Tip: On some phones, you might also be able to achieve fullscreen mastery by simply double-tapping the video itself.
Uh Oh, My App Doesn't Have a Fullscreen Icon?
Don't panic! Technology, like the Force, can sometimes be a fickle thing. Here are a couple of other things to try:
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
- Check for Updates: Make sure you're running the latest version of the Hulu app. Sometimes, those pesky black bars get banished with a simple app update.
- The Power of Rotation: This might seem strange, but try this: open your phone's settings and ensure your auto-rotate function is enabled. Then, with the video playing, tilt your phone sideways. Sometimes, this little trick can nudge the app into fullscreen mode.
Remember: These are just some workarounds, and the exact steps might differ depending on your phone model and Hulu app version.
