The Clicky-Clicky Method (for Desktop and Laptop Overlords)
For those of us who rule the keyboard and mouse domain, achieving fullscreen is as easy as, well, a click. While your favorite Hulu show is playing, locate the magical rectangle icon in the lower right corner of the video player. It might be hiding behind the progress bar, so give it a nudge with your mouse. BAM! Your show expands to glorious, borderless proportions.
Feeling a little claustrophobic again? Don't fret, the exit strategy is just as simple. Look for the magnificent exit fullscreen icon (it looks like a tiny rectangle with arrows pointing outwards) in the same spot. One click, and you're back to your regularly scheduled browsing (or, you know, more Hulu).
Pro-Tip: Want to impress your friends with your mad Hulu skills? Simply press F11 on your keyboard to toggle fullscreen mode. Mind. Blown.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
The Swipey-Swipey Method (for Mobile Masters)
For those who prefer to rule from the comfort of their couch (or, ahem, that questionable phone posture we all know and love), fear not! Fullscreen dominion awaits on your mobile device as well.
Here's the magic touch: Once your show is playing, give your screen a double tap (just like you're giving it a virtual high five). Poof! Fullscreen achieved! Want to return to your regularly scheduled scrolling? Just swipe down from the top of the screen (or, for some fancy devices, swipe up from the bottom) to access the player controls and tap the fullscreen exit icon (it looks like...well, a tiny rectangle with arrows pointing inwards).
Bonus Tip: Accidentally threw your phone in mid-swipe? No worries! Rotate your phone sideways and most of the time, Hulu will automatically switch to fullscreen mode. Just be prepared to explain that questionable yoga pose to your significant other.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
