Whenever I try to play a video in full screen, it does nothing. I press the button, it flashes as if the video disappears, and then returns to how it was before. I have successfully gotten into full screen, but I do have to click the button a thousand times until it takes effect. And there is no surefire way that it will go into full screen, no matter how many times I click the button, it's generally random. I have tried this on multiple sites, and it is all the same. However, I have yet to try it on a video that is not on the internet. This is a new installation of Ubuntu, I have installed it before, several times, and never had a problem until the newest installation. I remember, whenever I used to go into full screen video, there being some sort of program running that had no relation to anything else.

Perhaps you could go into a full screen video and tell me what is running so I can install whatever I'm missing.

I had the same problem, but i found a solution. I am using Google Chrome as default browser. When I updated it to Google Chrome 20 it also installed Flash 11.3. So you just need to turn off Flash 11.3 and turn on Flash 11.2. To do that: type in adress bar about:plugins Then at the top left corner click Extended (or smth like that) Find a Flash and you will see here 2 files. Then you need just to turn off 11.3 version and turn on 11.2 version and also restart your browser. That just worked for me!

place your mouse anywhere in the video you want to play then right click on your mouse then select "show video" from here you have an option to choose full screen. Try it see if it works
