Examples of custom keyboard shortcuts.

You can’t click on the full-screen video so if you lose mouse or keyboard controls, press the ESCAPE key to exit full-screen mode at any time.

Full-screen mode.A computer monitor is not recommended for full-screen mode because it may not have television or cinema frame rates, interlaced video modes, surround sound licensed downmixing, speakers etc.Desktop video is off because the graphics card is in full-screen mode to the other screen and can’t make two kinds of video at once.

Another way to select a time display mode. Hover to see tool tips.
