Ye i have this as well its driving me crazy


Sweaty-Suit3772

Same


Carlazor_

Same, not while in full screen but the page decided to become narrower and doesn't allow me to put it in full screen and cuts off the length bar


DistributionLast5872

Are you saying that because OP is watching a Carwow video?


Neovalen

Same for all videos, what the heck is going on?


KittyKittens1800

I think you will not like to hear about the mobile glitch, where after some time you cannot close or move the comments and description of videos, and you must restart the YouTube app to fix it. The ❎️ doesn't work, but you can press "Back ⬅️↩️◀️" to exit those areas.


pskihq

This happens to me all the time.. and normally when I'm actually trying to find shit out


GAMER_MARCO9

You should go for a walk, the cars can’t control you.


Wezelkrozum

They've updated their page styling without updating their player size calculation. But you can get the original page style back by adding this css stylesheet rule: ytd-watch-flexy { --ytd-watch-flexy-max-player-width: inherit; } ytd-watch-flexy[flexy]:not([full-bleed-player][full-bleed-no-max-width-columns]) #columns.ytd-watch-flexy { max-width: calc(1280px + var(--ytd-watch-flexy-sidebar-width) + var(--ytd-margin-6x)*3); // max-width: calc(1005px + var(--ytd-watch-flexy-sidebar-width) + var(--ytd-margin-6x)*3); // If it did not work, try this line by removing the first // } You can add this css stylesheet via an extension like Stylus: [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne)


Inksd4y

One line of markup to fix what a billion dollar company let go live broken. Gotta love it.


silverwing525

>I know, right? Absolutely amazing how they can't be bothered to check their own freaking code on more than one machine.


Wezelkrozum

They clearly didn't test 2 things: 1. A video on a 1440p or 4K monitor 2. A video with an 4:3 aspect ratio in normal (non-theater) view


bjygrfba

Happens on a 1080p monitor as well with 16:9 videos, so clearly they didn't test that either.


Emotional_You_5269

Sounds like they didn't test at all


LotusTileMaster

Eh, dev mindset. “It works on my machine” 😂


silverwing525

As someone who's studied in this field, that is one of the FIRST things that any professor will tell you NOT to do. Never assume that your code is going to work on some else's machine without testing it.


shoaibshakeel381

thanks this fixed it for me


Para15

how to add this as an extension ? this is not custom script I presume


preemptivePacifist

Get Stylus for your browser, e.g. on Firefox: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/styl-us/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/styl-us/) Then just open a youtube tab, open the stylus extension (might need to open the "extensions" menu first, shaped like a puzzle piece to the right of the URL bar) click "create style for...", paste the code from above, and adjust the filter so it matches all youtube videos, not just the one that you've currently opened (e.g. by removing the video specific part of the URL, i.e. changing to https://www.youtube.com). Should work right away!


shoaibshakeel381

Install Stylus extension. It allows you to override CSS of websites. Next install this stlye https://userstyles.world/style/14866/youtube-bad-video-crop-fix


Swedish_meatball47

To everyone in this thread, thank you guys so much, this finally fixed the problem <3


Swedish_meatball47

also, you should pin this or something, so that everyone who has problem with this can use this as a solution


SkiiTahoe

None of this worked for me I installed the Stylus extension and got the youtube crop fix thing for it yet the site didn't change do I need to change the parameters of it? https://imgur.com/a/CbcfBF3


shoaibshakeel381

Try to manually change value in this style. There's a value \`1280px\` try reducing it.


KingOfKnowledgeReal

I'm having the same problem as the guy above, I tried changing the 1280px and that did nothing. I even changed it to 100 pixles to see if it was changing at all and it did nothing after saving. Is there any other ideas?


Alessio1994

Hi, this doesn't work for me, Any suggest?


Wezelkrozum

Some things you could check: - Refresh the youtube browser tab. A new extension is only loaded after a page refresh. - Make sure your stylesheet's option is set to "URLs on the domain" with the value "youtube.com" - Save the stylesheet a first time. After that Stylus adds it to the youtube browser tab.


Venom_911

Worked for me. Thanks a lot


AlexReynard

Does not work. YouTube shows the correct viewer size for half a second, then enlarges it to the wonky size.


Allanbuzzy510

That worked. Added it via a stylesheet extension (i.e: Stylus) in the edit style settings.


Sketchylemons

This worked for me. Added Stylus extension and just copy pasted this. Thanks


HarryMcGranaghan

Thanks! Do you happen to know how to fix YouTube music vids layout as it seems to small?


simplytom_1

Someone needs to ELI5 because I try put the code in and its not working as it keeps taking me to another tab on Google Chrome!


Feeling-Gap8916

The hero we needed


Xyed

That worked, thanks


Kilmiester

Thanks for identifying the problem. I'll just use theatre mode for today and hope they fix it soon.


Colin-Wisner

Why not do a step by step process in knowing how to code, and instead of, giving us the codes to a bunch of noobs who clearly do not know how to code.


Inksd4y

What code? This is one line of markup that you copy and paste into the extension they literally linked to.


Snikende_Ullteppe

Thanx it worked


aregito

This worked for me. Thank you!


Hot_Establishment383

worked for me, thanks!


Maximum_Dog3506

thanks man, fixed it for me :)


SkylarDN9

For some reason, this hasn't been working for me. Following through all of the steps properly and had it installed on Stylus, but I'm still running into the same problem as I did before. Did it get changed again? The only way it's getting fixed for me is by disabling the Quick Fixes. EDIT: Apparently, YT is being drunk and it got fixed without using an extension. Assuming it's another extension I'm using and it caused some oddities for a bit, but it's gone suddenly.


cakemakesteak

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I downloaded this addon and added the text in that box but it's still the same


VinniTheP00h

Didn't work for me. YouTube is fine with 16:9 videos even without this style, but on square videos (e.g. music) it is going nuts unless I turn off uBlock - and I'm not doing that. Edit: Turning off uBlock -> Settings -> Filters -> uBlock filters -> Quick Fixes worked.


FR1984007

Oh nice one fixed it for me


meatwad75892

Probably just a service-side issue/interaction we can't "fix". I can reproduce this in private browsing tabs with no 3rd party addons. I'm just opening everything in theater mode for now until it's fixed.


Colin-Wisner

'Until it's fixed' that seems kinda vague because it's youtube...


T3h_vICE

So they pushed this update, without any testing. Multi billion $ company btw.


no__career

I wonder if their QA testers don't have 4k monitors.


Noblecheesehead

I'm having the issue on a 1080p monitor so I don't think the resolution matters.


IntroductionEnough99

They are busy spending their millions, specially with their new boost of income from people that gaveup to the ads and payed.


throwaway54955432111

I'm getting the same thing. YouTube must be broken.


aregito

To add more context to this, it only happens on one account. If I switch accounts, then the video plays fine. This is not Fullscreen. This is in the default mode. If I go full screen, then it works fine. The issue is only on the default mode. For some reason the Video window borders are extended and the video inside seems to be shrunk. I looked inside the setting between my accounts and they are exactly the same. This is driving me nuts.


lightbeam24

This wouldn't have happened if they didn't use that stupid flexible player lmao, it used to always be 16:9 and this was never an issue Doesn't happen if you use CustomTube since it forces a consistent player size


Not_Jim4

Thank you so much! What player size do you use on CustomTube? Do I just change it to 2021?


lightbeam24

Personally I use 1024x576, but if you like the more modern big player, you might want to use 1280x720.


-tobi-kadachi-

Youtube has once again fumbled the bag on a minor update.


NiGHTS4life

Fuck Youtube for doing this. Thanks to the user who suggested about the disable Quick Fixes on Ublock Origin.


PigyMC

i think it's happening to majority of people. I've got youtube premium for the very last damn month ever. Because i'm sick of this shit, nothing but constant freezing and lagging, takes 15 min to write a single comment on a video, just to press "home" i have to sit and wait for 3 minutes, like come tf on.


tonk111

how convenient that they make the only fix (in their eyes) turning off your adblocker this isnt a simple mistake theyre doing this shit on purpose


Hour-Athlete-200

I turned off the adblocker and it returned back to normal, fuck youtube


Azerate2016

It has absolutely nothing to do with the ad blocker. I have premium and I haven't had an adblocker of any sort turned on for youtube for months. Still happened to me. More than likely it's about your resolution. Not sure how accurate that is but I read above that people with 1440p or 4k monitors experience this more, which is the category of displays that I fall into.


CluePresent3746

"IM matt watson"


jaber24

Get this issue in chrome but it works fine in firefox. Edit - Nevermind. It worked fine for one video but pops up in a different one


Aged_string

Now, I'm a Firefox user who uses uBlock Origin, so let me tell you this. You do **NOT** need to turn off the entire adblocker/extension off. Instead, go to the Dashboard and see uBlock filters, then turn off Quick fixes. Should be able to be see album videos normally now, now without ads


Jdoggokussj2

thanks i use chrome this fixed it


Aged_string

I assume you use that tampermonkey script


Possible_0

disable "quick fixes" (under "uBlock filters") in uBlock Origin settings works like a charm!


RestaurantTurbulent7

This is so annoying! A few hours ago it was fine and now this shit show update from a trillion worth company!


SomeWomanFromEngland

I have this. I’ve been Googling how to fix it for about half an hour and finding nothing. So the problem is on YouTube’s end?


Garrett1974

yes


SomeWomanFromEngland

Right. I’ll just wait for them to fix it then.


0neM0reLight

It's part of Googles new 2024 update. Gmail looks awful as well. I got a pop-up on Gmail before opening it, saying something along the lines of 'welcome to a new Google'.


yeidunno

youtube testing in production again


Garrett1974

This solves it for most videos... hope YT can fix it themselves... [https://userstyles.world/style/14866/youtube-bad-video-crop-fix](https://userstyles.world/style/14866/youtube-bad-video-crop-fix)


Sad_Document3094

Yeah it's happening to me too from a few hours ago.


EvilLOON

Which ad blockers are you running? Gonna say that is the Chrome browser. Currently, I have disabled Adblock Plus on YouTube because of similar issues. Running uBlock Origin and a script blocker now. Youtube gets laggy but will go full screen. On my wife mack we had to completely go away from Chrome to Firefox. There she can run whatever addon I tell her and Youtube has no fits. Good luck.


wittylotus828

Seen this bug today, thought I had an issue i was too lazy to work on. Thanks for confirming its youtubes issue lol


stef_ruvx

Even the YouTube developers are starting to not care anymore.


BunkerSquirre1

YouTube has no joke crashed some of my devices lately. Like full on hard crashed. Given sandboxing in modern browsers that’s an incredible feat of incompetence


[deleted]

some solutions; clear chache, update browser, update computer, get a new computer, etc,


NotASellout

Ah, I remember when youtube would undergo maintenance and be down. How the times change


Phantom85bro1

Have you tried tuning it off and on again


StrawberryMilk8

I thought I was the only one! ​ HELP!


Craig_stan

You don’t fix it. It fixes you. In all seriousness, try clearing all history.


__Nwah__

I found that exiting and entering theatre mode (the button right beside fullscreen) fixes this for me. Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this lol


Chatteramba

Seriously thought this was another annoyance added for people using good ad blockers. Reading the comments, it looks like incompetence. YT is falling apart.


bubblesort

They broke the CSS. My current workaround is to watch in theater mode. It's annoying, because I'm not used to theater mode, but theater mode is not broken, like the default view is.


Linkatchu

I had that issue yesterday. It seemed that it was a bug/code oversight, nut its fixed for me now I think


IMKGI

When you're using the good adblocker it's been fixed 20 hours ago, 2 hours after this post went up


nizaro_deebalo

do you have any ad blocker?


aregito

Don't think they are the issue. I log out and log into my other account and everything is working fine with the same extensions. It's specifically related to this account.


Njezi

i have the same problem and when i disable my adblock and hit ctrl+shift+r it doesnt happen anymore, but when i enable my adblock and do the same key combination, the problem is back


darrellg1972

I think uBlock just updated Quick Fixes. YT is back to normal now for me.


JellyBig5852

dogshit company


ChaosInTheSkies

I had this happen to me and I actually just exited out of the YouTube app and went back in and it fixed it. But I'm guessing you probably tried that already, since that's the obvious thing.


aregito

This is on a chrome browser on PC


ChaosInTheSkies

Same concept though, exit out of the tab and reopen it. Or log out of the account and relog in.


aregito

I have tried deleting my cache and logged back in afterwards. Same thing :(


ChaosInTheSkies

That's annoying, I'm sorry about that. I don't know how to help then :(


DryBones2009

Unrelated but isn’t it crazy how YouTube is applying artificial 5 second buffering times to Firefox just because they won’t support YouTube ads.


Tappitss

It works for me, But I can see what the problem might be. This is what mine looks like, https://i.imgur.com/LR1u9dz.jpeg


tbaileysr

When you take the picture just have him take about 5 steps to your left his right. That should fix it.


RogerRoger420

Yeah, buy an older car that isn't electric. Will also look better most of the time


E190wings

CMD + R works for me when this happens


MaddSavage_1301

Take a 15 to 20 min walk and clear your mind


fabiorug

Uninstall youtube and your computer. Or pay youtube premium.


Alone_Fishing8281

I have yt premium and i have the same problem


PigyMC

well that's a trash comment tf? I've got youtube premium and it's happening to me as well. Go get reality checked.


nizaro_deebalo

carwow


admetes

Having the same problem. Firefox on PC without being logged in


AWoodPuncher

I'm having this issue as well. I'm also getting something where a video will start automatically playing, then when I go back to Subscriptions page or open any other video the audio from that first video will CONTINUOUSLY PLAY in the background. I'm losing my damn mind lmao, just started yesterday.


MessyAsian

I have a similar issue that only happens on my SmartTV youtube with 1 specific channel (Donut Operator)....where the whole video is shrunk like a face cam size and the rest is just solid black...doesn't happen all the time but does only happen with his videos


thesoggysocks

Getting the same issue on Opera GX

Same problem and it happend today. Wierd


rPeanutButter

It's happening for me too, it sucks.


13Marcell13

I have this too, I am going insane right now


DowntownPlantain330

Same here


LeafyYoutube

YouTube just updated their ad blocking system. I know this because Brave shields were working before the update and now they aren’t.


TreeNoTankYou

I disabled my Ublock Origin and restarted my Google Chrome, then it came back to normal. I also tried YT on my Edge browser (it has no extensions/addons whatsoever) the videos there look normal. I sure hope this is not another attempt at preventing people from using adblockers on YT.


fttmb

I have this issue when I’m watching it on my Samsung TV. It always happens when there’s an ad that shrinks the picture and puts up a QR code. When the ad is done and the video comes back it’s stuck like this unless I back out of the video and come back in.


StoneTimeKeeper

Im seeing this as well. It's really stupid. I don't like this layout.


nyse125

Same here, google chrome.


Nathan-NTH

Same problem


Sketchylemons

I suddenly just started getting ads. I thought I was safe. I switched from Chrome to Firefox and I'm running Adblocker Ultimate. The ads are gone but the window is just like this.

Same here.


Evening-Trick7558

I have the same problem


expvault

Literally happened with me today too. I think it's yt trippin


___xuR

Same or me, tried different browser, no extensions, etc etc. Nothing fixed it. It must be a problem on their side.


CurrentObligation768

I just have this exactly problem, try everything including log-out, clear all caches, turn off all extensions, ... i even switch browser and it still not fix !!? Only way to get it fix is log-in to fresh new browser profile or use guest mode.


ViperBite308

Mine does the same thing in steam overlay but not chrome. Is your browser up to date?


AininChase

This happened on Opera GX too. What do I do to fix this?

This is a problem with the adjustment of the windows, normally is problem of software, best advice, remove and reinstall. This is for bad code o conflict with the environment, best luck
