Has anyone had success getting FreeTube to run full screen when in game mode? I’ve messed with settings to no success, and can’t find anything online about it either. It always has black bars top and bottom that take up a good portion of the screen.

Edit: I’ve added a picture to show what I mean

    I have a Steam Deck OLED and my Freetube uses the whole screen. Freetube v0.23.1 beta and SteamOS version 3.6.20

    It might be the way you have Freetube installed. From Steam game mode, go to Freetube, then Properties, then Shortcut. This is what I have:

    Target:

    “/usr/bin/flatpak”

    Start In:

    /usr/bin

    Launch Options:

    run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/run.sh --file-forwarding io.freetubeapp.FreeTube @@u %u @@

    I am not using any specific compatibility mode.

    There is a problem though where the mouse pointer cannot select anything more than about halfway down the screen. To get around this, I have the controller config set as follows:

    • Right touchpad: mouse
    • L2 & R2: right and left mouse buttons
    • D-pad: arrow keys
    • Left joystick - left: shift+tab
    • Left joystick - right: tab
    • Y: on-screen keyboard
    • A: Enter

    This will let you scroll with the d-pad, tab around, use keyboard, and select things with Enter.

    I hope this helps.
