Viewing movies at full screen and other sizes

You can set a movie’s size so that it completely fills the screen. You can also set a movie to play in an overlay window, or other sizes that best fit the movie you’re viewing and how you want to watch it.

Change the movie display size:

Full screen: The movie is displayed as large as possible and no other windows, the menu bar, or controls are visible. To show the controls, move the mouse. To exit full-screen mode, click on the full screen button or use the shortcut Option ⌘ F.

Full screen on secondary display: Drag the movie window on your secondary display before you switch into full screen mode. The menu bar and Dock will not be hidden.

Zoom movie window:To place the movie window in the smallest size in the top right corner of your main screen press the zoom button.

By pressing the zoom button again the window will resize back to the last position and size.

Floating window: To place the movie window on top of all other windows activated in the Window menu.
