Video is not full screen
On some sites that provides video content player is not expanded to the full screen. So I click the 'Enter full screen' button, video is expanded, but not to the full screen - there is a gray stripe on the left (see the screenshot attached). This gray stripe is an area of the screen where all sorts of icons are normally displayed (notifications, watches, battery, etc). This gray stripe looks bad and annoying.
What can I do to make video full screen on all sites?
Example page where video is expanded to the full screen as expected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHts3cLtvNY

Hi
Both videos are displaying the same for me, but chances are I have a different device to you.
What is the make and model of your Android device?
I have Nokia X10. I have a feeling that this issue may be related to the camera location - on my device it's located in the middle of the top bar. That top bar area becomes a gray stripe when video is full screen.
Yes, that is probably the cause - to save the camera appearing "in" the video, the screen may cut off a bar that includes tha camera location.
Still it does not explain why on some sites there is no gray bar. Here's an example from youtube full screen video (opened in firefox). As we can see there is no gray bar. At the same time the dark area on the left is bigger than on the right, again I assume it's related to the top bar.
Are you able to take a screenshot of a video where there is this grey bar?
It's attached to the question description.

The only thing I can think of is it is related the site that you are using and how they display videos.
