This guide shows you how to use full-screen mode in Google Chrome for both Windows and macOS.

Enable and Disable Chrome Full-Screen Mode in macOS

In Chrome on macOS, click the green circle in the upper-left corner to enter full-screen mode. Click it again to exit.

Other ways to activate full-screen mode include:

• From the menu bar, select View > Enter Full Screen.
• Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Command+F.

To exit full-screen mode, repeat any of these steps.

What Is Chrome Full-Screen Mode?

Full-screen mode in Google Chrome removes desktop distractions like the bookmarks bar, menu buttons, open tabs, and the operating system clock and taskbar. In this mode, Chrome covers the entire screen.

How to Zoom In and Out in Chrome

While full-screen mode lets you see more of the page, it doesn’t increase text size. Use the Zoom setting to change text size:

1. Click the menu (three-dot) icon in the upper-right corner.

2. Select Zoom, then + to enlarge page contents or – to reduce them.

3. Alternatively, hold Ctrl (or the Command on a Mac) and press plus or minus on your keyboard to zoom in and out.
