An animation that makes sense would be the same used to make any window fullscreen, where it just zooms in. Safari on MacOS uses a nice animation on YouTube videos to go fullscreen. It'd be great to have something like that, but with just the video itself zooming into fullscreen like an application window would. A janky example of Safari going fullscreen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibhUk0WogO0 1556317 1 mcatanzaro 2019-07-26 18:31:05 -0700 Yeah, our "animation" for entering fullscreen has always looked pretty buggy. 1556545 2 cturner 2019-07-29 05:28:35 -0700 CC'ing 198053, the desync *may* related to whatever is going on with our full-screen transition code. I got quite lost investigating that issue however, so take it with a grain of salt... 1556562 3 mcatanzaro 2019-07-29 08:16:48 -0700 I'm almost positive the desync issue occurs without entering fullscreen, so I doubt it. 1817764 4 alicem 2021-11-25 02:50:39 -0800 macOS WebKit does an interesting thing here: it basically splits the video into a new window, positions it where the video was and fullscreens that. We could do a similar thing with a new window, and it would already be quite nice, but we cannot manually position it on Wayland, so it's not really possible to replicate that.
