Google Chrome offers a full-screen mode that allows you to enjoy an immersive browsing experience. While this mode is useful in many situations, there are times when you may want to exit and return to the standard view. In this blog, we will guide you on how to exit full screen on Google Chrome in few simple steps.
Exiting Full Screen on Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS
If you are using Google Chrome on a Windows, Linux, or Chrome OS device, follow these steps:
- Move your cursor to the top of your screen.
- Right-click with your mouse.
- Select the Exit Full Screen option from the dropdown menu.
Alternatively, you can press the F11 key on your keyboard to exit the full screen. This is a toggle shortcut, meaning if you press it again, it will take you back to full screen.
Exiting Full Screen on macOS
If you are using Google Chrome on a macOS device, follow these steps:
- Move your cursor to the top of your screen to make the menu bar appear.
- Click on View in the menu bar.
- Select the Exit Full Screen option from the dropdown menu.
Just like Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS, macOS also has a keyboard shortcut to exit full screen. Simply press the Control + Command + F keys simultaneously.
Exiting Full Screen on Mobile Devices
If you are using Google Chrome on an Android or iOS device, the process is slightly different:
- Tap the screen to make the controls visible.
- Tap on the full-screen icon which usually appears at the bottom right corner of the video.
Now, you should be back to the standard view in Google Chrome.
Conclusion
Exiting full screen in Google Chrome is a straightforward process whether you’re using a desktop or mobile device. Now that you know how to do it, you can easily switch from a fully immersive browsing experience to a more traditional one with just a few clicks or keystrokes.
