hey all, just wondering if anyone has figured out how to get the videos to go fullscreen without chrome taking over the rest of my desktops. I am working from a multimonitor system and every time I press the fullscreen button, all of the other screens on my macbook pro and other displays grey out to the classic apple login background. is there a way to simply go fullscreen just on one display that anyone knows of?
