Latest reviews

• (2023-10-24) TheBullhorn Streamer: Finally, something that works with Ultra Wide monitors (Like the SAMSUNG 49” Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor) Thanks! :)
• (2023-10-10) Victor Augusto: MUITO BOA EXTENSÃO ERA EXATEMNTE O QUE EU PROCURAVA MAXIMIZAR O VIDEO DENTRO DA ABA DO NAVEGADOR. BELO TRABALHO!!
• (2023-09-27) 설교쟁이 (설교쟁이): Can't I use the previous version? The latest version is so critical that a permission pop-up window appears for each new site and an error occurs in the YouTube play bar.
• (2023-09-21) Diêgo Araújo: Nota 1000!
• (2023-09-07) Audrey Boedeker: I've been looking for something like this for my class videos, it's easy to use and the image is so CRISP. Far better than just trying to zoom in!
• (2023-08-16) Koen Lemmen: You NEED this if you have an ultrawide screen and like to watch videos windowed and not fullscreen. This is exactly what I was looking for. It will maximize the video to the borders of the window, no weirdness, it just works.
• (2023-08-13) Alexander “Sadtiric” Van Kampen: Immediately exactly what I need, no scaling issues. Love it! Thank you!
• (2023-08-06) Kaloogh: Perfecto en este si van los subtítulos, las otras extensiones te meten un reproductor básico, pero esta lo mantiene igual :)
• (2023-07-30) Darren Knight: I wanted an extension that enables me to increase the size of video players on gambling sites so I can watch the free broadcasts on something larger than a postage stamp sized screen. I want no more. UVM gives me exactly what I need. Top marks!
• (2023-06-29) Nil Desperandum: Is this a joke? When you use regular fullscreen mode on YouTube, you can still scroll. With this, you can't. You actually lose functionality with no significant benefit.
• (2023-06-26) G Cheseaux: Brilliant
• (2023-06-13) Хер Махер: Best
• (2023-04-29) Iago Aguiar: Works like i want, fullscreen on the window
• (2023-04-17) 丘山北鲲: The first extension that provides features I wanted.
• (2023-03-24) Soham Dasgupta: Does what it's advertised to and it's open source!
• (2023-03-14) Kay V: simple and working best way
• (2023-01-04) Shahram Shinshaawh: it works great
• (2022-12-23) Braulio: Simple y funcional, no como otras extensiones similares.
• (2022-11-22) Douglas Ferreira: Testei várias outras que não funcionaram, essa funcionou perfeitamente.
• (2022-11-07) Victoria Besarab: November 2022, not working, afeter re-install it works but after 20 min session no longer responsive. Checked info on gitHub, and now going to test Universal Video Maximizer BETA v3 https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/universal-video-maximizer/implccjhhblakjgebfhbafehkjjhklai?hl=en&authuser=0
• (2022-08-24) Rene Lackner: Perfect for Floatplane!
• (2022-08-21) Hᴀʟʟᴏᴡᴇᴅ Gʀᴏᴜɴᴅ: Was not sure it would work, but it sure does. Very happy with this app.(and a happy woman) Thanks 👍
• (2022-06-14) dyinghere: This was the only app I could find that did what I needed it to do for streaming stuff to my friends. I just wanted to make the video fullscreen in the tab - why does every other extension have to make it so complicated? However, I'm migrating to firefox after finding out that chrome is basically destroying extensions next year to stop adblockers nd I was wondering if you had this over there; a search doesn't show anything, and I'd love to keep it in my migration.
• (2022-06-02) Bro HD: great!

• (2022-03-07) gaurav mandal: ite work perfectly..... thank you
• (2022-02-23) Aniss ankis: Please fix this it is not working file URLs anymore on last update. because i open videos files from my desktop and i use it for a porporse
• (2022-01-13) Nick Cade: Thank you so much for updating this! I use it all the time.
• (2021-12-19) khalid (kokhalid): Thanks a lot
• (2021-09-27) med mahogany: Amazing Extension!! my problem were with Google drive 360p videos, they are small and when they are full screened they are unwatchable so this extension did that impossible thing to me, Thank you so much 5Stars.
• (2021-09-11) Khin -: It's so fuss free and exactly what i was looking for. I needed a tool to play a video maximized to window size so i can split my screen into 2. One for lecture video and another to type out notes
• (2021-09-02) Baran Yildiran: works for tvplus.com.tr
• (2021-08-18) aventu: No nonsense, just the video in a browser window. Great!
• (2021-07-23) Philipp Rathjen: worked as intended on a lesser known sites than youtube & twitch
• (2021-06-27) Daniel Lins Maciel: Amazing. Works really fine on every site. There are only one problem: sometimes the videos doesnt stretch in all black space. But nothing realy big.
• (2021-06-23) Garry Flanagan: Best extension for this behavior and I have tried quite a few.
• (2021-05-23) Rowan Joice: I tried "Fullscreen Anything" which used it's own player meaning player features were lost and "Fullscreen Video to Window" which didn't work at all. This add-on worked like a charm. It just limits a fullscreen video player to the boundaries of the window.
• (2021-05-02) Thomas Nielsen: Use this one because it doesn't require full access to every page I visit. It only runs when it's clicked in the toolbar.
• (2021-03-28) Anisur Miah: Works great with ITV HUB which other's didnt.
• (2021-02-26) ALEJANDRO GONZALES CIPRIANO: LOL it fixes the awfull meet layout
• (2021-02-24) Hyrum Bigham: Saved me a bunch of time and made my school lectures easier to watch. Canvas formatting is just a little too much for my limited html knowledge.
• (2021-01-30) Andrey Tkach: Иногда криво расширяет окно в ютюбе - не отображается интерфейс.
• (2021-01-23) Martin Krajňák: Exactly what I needed, works as charm, thank you !
• (2020-12-28) Tianzu Qi: It doesn't work on pornhub
• (2020-12-15) Jrad: Sweet, works in 2020 on Bitchute, I was after something like theatre mode on Youtube so I can have video on half of my monitor while I do other stuff on the other side and this does the job perfectly.
• (2020-12-08) Rand Omdude: Older extension, but it checks out. Still works great.
• (2020-11-30) Anthony Goodman: Perfect, using this in 2020 on Opera Browser to watch The Daily Wire videos full screen.
• (2020-10-09) Bryce Palmer: I've been looking for an extension like this for years, not sure how I missed this! Works perfectly!

  Lo tengo desactivado y lo sigue mostrando al intentar salir. Me parece muy incomodo ya que lo tengo en el atajo de ctrl+space y no se quita ni dandole al icono, eso me obliga a recargar la página :/
• (2023-10-05, v:3.0.109) Marcos Gomes: Error manifest

• (2023-09-21, v:3.0.107) Tom N (trophygeek): PLEASE USE GITHUB TO REPORT ISSUES
  Hello, I'm the author of this chrome extension. The Chrome store's "report a problem" doesn't always notify when a new item is added. Please use github for faster responses: https://github.com/trophygeek/universalvideomaximizer/

• (2022-09-13, v:2.0.20) Scott Wilkinson: Any way to select which video gets maximized?
  I'm trying to view some videos on Adobe's tutorials pages and each page has multiple videos.... I'm only able to maximize the first on the page. Is there a way to select which video is maximized?
• (2022-06-04, v:2.0.19) Devon Blaker (MachineIntheGhost): Video not centered on some website
  https://watchflixad.com/ this website's video expands when you click expander but the video is pushed to the right cutting off the right side and leaving a black bar on the left
• (2022-05-19, v:2.0.19) Cody: Video not centered on some websites.
  Video will not be centered on some websites, I imagine the link of the video I am experiencing it on will be down by the time this is reviewed, but I wanted to show an example, maybe an option can be included that if this occurs that it can be corrected. https://imgur.com/a/wRrQnua
• (2022-05-13, v:2.0.19) Rodrigo Santos: Key shortcut
  Hello! What about some shortcut to activate the extension? Plus can you tell me how do you made this extension? Do you have GitHub?
• (2022-04-28, v:2.0.19) To Koz: Manual select crop area
  Is it possible to implement a function to select the video with a frame, like a screenshot tool? So that the plugin can crop the selected area and zoom it to the screen resolution. The idea came to me because sometimes a stream has hardcoded black bars and even the plugin or the monitor/tv is not able to zoom the video to full size. You always have the bars.
• (2022-04-16, v:2.0.18) Cody Holle: URL site not working
  https://soap2day.ac/ this website's video expands when you click expander but the video is cut off at the bottom.

• (2022-01-16, v:2.0.13) ming Moo: adding detection method option
  How about adding an option to switch the video detection method?
• (2021-02-01, v:1.0.12) Justin Morris: no longer works
  just a blank screen now. :(
• (2020-12-04, v:1.0.12) r.e.m: clicking extension sends focus to bottom page; not working well
  extension not working well anymore, clicking on it veers page to bottom instead of maximizing video
• (2020-08-27, v:1.0.12) Gareth Kaderes: i used this extension for years and now its stopped working properly.
  The video content enlarges but its stuck off to the left side of the screen. Half the video windows are not visible they are that far off the screen.
• (2019-09-23, v:1.0.12) Josef Stepanek: Not working on dvtv.cz and seznamzpravy.cz
  Just FYI, if you'd like to improve the extension, if it's even possible… It's not working on https://www.dvtv.cz and https://www.seznamzpravy.cz
• (2018-07-14, v:1.0.12) Adding Built In Short Key
  Would be useful when using Chrome in Application Mode (More Tools>Create Shortcut>Open As Window) - for some reason Chrome's built in hotkeys for extensions does not trigger this extension when in application mode.
• (2018-03-03, v:1.0.12) Adding video contrlas as well?
  Could you also enable video controls to this same extention (for videos without FF and Rewind)
• (2016-01-01, v:1.0.12) ภัทรพล ณ สงขลา: ิ
  งง
• (2015-09-27, v:1.0.12) Ridho Yusticiano: use shorcut
  better use shortcut key e.g. alt+enter or something like that
• (2014-01-29, v:1.0.12) Stephanie Young-Cross: Broken
  It doesn't seem to work anymore.
• (2013-12-16, v:1.0.10) Chin Ta Tsai: 反應太慢
  每次點擊放大都會出現延遲現象，尤其從其它視窗直接移動過來直接點擊按鈕時延遲更嚴重。
• (2013-12-02, v:1.0.8) Tom Nielsen: Where do support requests go
  This is just a test.
