Get rid of top and bottom bars while streaming movies

[sunsetMR]

How do I get rid of the bars on top and bottom while I am watching a streaming video.

DVD'S work great but not streaming video's. I would like the entire screen as if I am watching a DVD.

Thank you,

Mike R.

Have you tried holding Fn key and pressing F11 key?

[sunsetMR]

No but I will surely try Cherylg ! 🙂

I tried holding down FN and pressing f11 nothing happened.

I assume you are watching the videos in a browser window? Fn + F11 usually works in Internet Explorer and Chrome browser.

Sory..... Are you talking about..... capital  lower case n and then hit F11  yes I tried.

lower cases etc. did not help.

@sunsetMR

Are you on a laptop? You should have a key with Fn on it beside ctrl key-bottom row of keys.

If you are using a desktop pc with regular keyboard simply tap F11 key.

I am using a desktop at the moment and found the Fn key and held it down at hit F11, no luck.

 Sorry. Your post was originally in Laptop section of forum so I assumed you were using a laptop.

1- On the desktop machine you may/may not need to use Fn key with F11 key. Have you tried both ways?

2- Which browser are you using,Internet Explorer,Chrome,Firefox?

3- If you are using AOL Desktop Software to access internet and stream videos I am not sure if there is a way to make it full screen. AOL support would be the best source for that.
