Not able to open fullscreen

Does anyone know how to make your screen go to full screen while streaming live in the cbs app or the Paramount + app? I am using an iPad Air and all my apps/os are updated. I have tried to click the icon to expand the screen and just these 2 apps will not go fullscreen. Any suggestions?

iPad Air 4 Wi-Fi, Cellular

Not all video apps will conform to the iPad's screen size at full screen due to differences in the iPad;s screen size ratio versus the filmed video content.

So, black bars may still appear in “full screen” mode as the video content maybe was filmed at a different film/screen ratio or is being streamed at a different screen size ratio.

There is no way to alter the way a video is filmed or streamed.
