WHAT IT DOES:
Universal Video Maximizer is a free and open source Chrome extension that allows users to watch videos in full-browser-window mode on most websites, without the extension requiring full permissions to every site. It also has a "theater mode" that removes the navigation bar and other UI elements for a undistracted viewing experience.
✔ Working great since 2013
✔ Dark themed theater mode
✔ Secure and private!
✔ Great for ultrawide monitors
✔ Free and open source
✔ Control playback speed on most sites (Prime, HBO, Apple, etc)
This extension is FREE and done as a hobby.

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) Clint Eastwood: 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

- (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!
