The application (e.g. Safari) may put the full screen video in a new ‘Space’ (virtual screen), in part for performance reasons. That may glitch when prompted out of that space, either by application switching or notifications, leaving the user with just the “Click to Exit Full Screen” message.


I think the only thing to do, is to click and exit that mode, then resume and got full screen once more.
