How to open a Youtube video in full screen using VLC


Please note:

Starting from early 2022, VLC has been prevented from streaming YouTube content, thereby disabling the option to utilize their platform for this purpose. However, we have devised an alternative solution to play YouTube videos through our MAW Chrome Launcher application. Please follow this guide.




Open Youtube using your browser inside the main display and go to the video that you want to show
Copy the main Link for the video or use the option Share

                 

 

       
                                                                                                          



Select COPY

                                                                (1)                       (2)

2. Select Add URL, paste the Link that you have from Youtube and Select VLC Media Player to play the video
