Chrome not optimize Full Screen video

jinyangl — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 10:48:36 GMT

After I accidentally clicked "never ask me again" when a cast dialog asking if I want to optimize full screen video, chrome no longer able to optimize the full screen video.

What I tried resetting the Google Chrome settings to default. It doesn't resolve the issue.

I tried downloading Google Canary , and the issue is gone! So I can confirm it must be a hidden config at Chrome side, the question is, where can I find it so that the "optimize video" appears again?

Hi jinyangl,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community. A few questions: what Chromecast device do you have connected to your TV? Were you able to cast apps from your smartphones? What other steps have you tried?

Give the steps below a try and let me know how it goes:

Reinstall the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
Try Google Chrome on another computer.
Try a factory reset, then set it up from scratch.
If it persists, give our friends at the Google Chrome Help Community a shout.

Thanks,

Kimy

The only step to make the dialog showing again is to remove the config folder `/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome` completely. I think this is definitely a Google Chrome bug.

Hello jinyangl,

Thanks for sharing this. Does this mean your Chromecast device is now utilizing an optimized full screen of your TV using the Chrome browser from your computer? Let us know.

Yes, it is. However, if possible please send a note to Chrome team about this! Because this is a very annoying bug!

To fix this bug from a user's perspective, I need to clear Chrome sync data, and then remove local Chrome setting data and log out for all devices, basically start everything freshly ...
