BenBen TV Fullscreen and Video Fit: Fill the Screen or Keep It Original

One Tap Fullscreen

Tap the fullscreen control and the video takes the whole screen, with the player controls hidden until you need them. Tap again, or use the back gesture, to return to the list. That round trip is the whole fullscreen story, and it works the same way on phones and tablets.

The BenBen TV download guide home screen shows the player in its normal size first, so the fullscreen step feels like a deliberate choice rather than a surprise. For longer viewing, rotate the phone as well: fullscreen plus landscape is the most comfortable way to watch on a phone.

Video Fit Explained

Video fit answers one question: what should happen when the video shape and the screen shape differ? Fill the screen stretches the picture to the screen edges, which looks bold but can crop or stretch the image. Keep the original size shows the picture as published, with bars where the shapes differ, which looks faithful but smaller.

Neither choice is right for every video. A wide video on a wide screen needs no compromise, while a tall video on a wide screen forces the choice. The landscape viewing guide shows how rotation changes that choice.

Which Fit, When

Use fill the screen for casual viewing, where edge to edge impact matters more than exact framing. Use the original size for videos where framing matters, such as a presentation, a performance, or anything with text near the edges that cropping would cut.

If a picture looks stretched, switch fit before anything else. A stretched picture is almost always a fit choice, not a broken stream, and the switch fixes it at once. If the picture looks right but small, fill the screen and judge again.

Fullscreen in Short

One tap for fullscreen, one switch for fit. Fill for impact, original size for fidelity, and rotate for landscape comfort. Three controls, no menus, no fuss.
