progress bar wont go away on TV when streaming but does go away on chromebook screen when not linked

[Kevdog1]

When watching a movie on my chromebook the progress bar and volume bar dissappear when switching to full screen but when projecting onto my TV, the bars won't dissappear. I have searched the web for hours with no success. Anyone have the solution?

I understand that the progress bar and volume bar of the video will disappear while switching the full screen.

Please refer to the below link to troubleshoot the issue.

Hi Praveen 196,

I think you have not read my request in full. The problem is when I link to the TV via hdmi cable, the progress bar and volume bar does NOT go away i.e. it is visible all the time.

I hope you can help solve this irritation.

Thank you for the update.

Have you tried with a different HDMI cable?

Sometimes you need an adapter cable to do this. To learn what type of cable you need, check the instructions included with your Chromebook.

1. Find the display output and input ports on your Chromebook. (If you’re not sure which ports to use, check the instructions included with your Chromebook.)
2. Use these two ports to find the correct adapter (ex. DisplayPort to HDMI).
3. Plug the adapter into the monitor, then into your Chromebook.

Show your Chromebook screen on your monitor

1. At the bottom right, select the time.
2. Select Settings.
3. In the "Device" section, select Displays.
4. Select Mirror Internal Display. Your screen will show on all connected monitors.

Tip: To view your Chromebook screen only on your monitor, press and hold Decrease brightness.

Adjust your screens

1. At the bottom right, select the time.
2. Select Settings.
3. In the "Device" section, select Displays.
4. To adjust your Chromebook screen, select Internal Display. To adjust your monitor screen, select the name of the monitor.
   • Make items on your screen smaller or larger: In the "Display size" section, choose an option.
   • Rotate the screen: In the "Orientation" section, choose an option.
5. [Optional] Under your monitor tab, you can also:
   • Change screen sharpness: In the "Resolution" section, choose an option.

Tip: To quickly move windows or apps from one screen to another, on your keyboard, press Search  + Alt + m.

Have a nice day!!

I have solved my problem. All I needed to do was make the TV the primary device.

Thanks for trying to help me!
