@mr-panther This is the problem of chromium, I have already posted a bug report on their forum but it has been more than 10 days now and no action has been taken so far. The developers of chromium are the slowest.

@leocg All of my browsers(Google Chrome, Opera) on android(12) are up to date and the issue is still there. It all started when the system update for the playstore had been pushed a few days ago, since then many people started facing the issue, I visited the brave forum and found a post where the users encountered the same issue

@mr-panther speaking of fixing, I installed Mozilla Firefox because it is not a chromium browser and the fullscreen is working fine on the landscape mode,

@mr-panther Are you moving the phone to the landscape position?

@leocg is your autorotation turned on? Most people like me turn off the screen rotation on our phones. You need to turn rotation off and check if the videos played on the landscape mode. Earlier youtube videos used to play on the landscape mode when clicking the fullscreen option even if the screen rotation was turned off.

@leocg This is why we are talking about this issue, 10 or 12 days ago all of us could watch youtube on the landscape mode with autorotation turned off, and after an update from playstore it just stopped playing on the landscape mode. Install Mozilla Firefox and you will notice that youtube videos are playing just fine on the landscape mode with autorotation turned off. The problem is with chromium and the developers are extremely slow to fix, people will probably have to wait a month or more to get it fixed considering most of us keep autorotation off. Or you may have to use a non chromium browser like Firefox, which I did.

@leocg yes that's what we are asking to fix. Before when we tapped full screen it automatically went to landscape mode even if auto rotation was off

@leocg I know it is a chromium issue. I have already registered a bug report on the chromium bug report channel. However I feel Google might have done this intentionally to make people use the youtube app instead. If that so, horrible decision I must say. Evil.
