Videos only play on Fullscreen mode and when I exit fullscreen it pauses.

I am new to ios and came from andriod. I don’t like watching videos on full screen coz i like reading comments and other stuff on the same website while watching. Is there a fix on this coz on andriod, i dont have any problem on this.


Specifics pf the problem/indept explanation:

Whenever I watch a Video on a specific website both on chrome and safari, it forces me to watch on fullscreen even whend im on portrait mode. and when i exit or scroll down it pauses the video. I want it to watch not on fullscreen though. Is there a way to fix this problem??

iPhone 16, 18

If a website plays videos only in full screen then please contact the web host or the web publisher.


How to contact a Web Publisher or the Host


Contacting a web publisher or the host of a website can be helpful for various reasons, such as reporting issues with the website, seeking permission to use content, or addressing copyright concerns. The process may vary slightly depending on the website, but here are some general steps you can follow:


  1. Check the Website: First, visit the website and look for a "Contact" or "About Us" page. Many websites provide contact information there, including email addresses or contact forms.
  2. Web Hosting Company: If you have an issue related to the website's hosting, such as reporting abuse or copyright infringement, you can try contacting the web hosting company. To find the hosting company, you can use online tools like "whoishostingthis.com" or similar services. Once you identify the hosting company, visit their website and look for contact information or support options.
  3. Be Clear and Polite: Whether you are reaching out via email, contact form, or social media, always be clear, concise, and polite in your communication. Clearly state the reason for contacting them and provide any necessary details to help them understand your request or concern.
  4. Give Time for a Response: Allow some time for the web publisher or hosting company to respond. It may take a few days, depending on their responsiveness.


Remember, always be respectful in your communication, and avoid any hostile or aggressive language, as it is unlikely to yield a positive response.
