[QUOTE="Yuimaru, post: 1806784, member: 307711"] To all My dilemma on this matter is no longer. The ability to get a full screen video of a person, the person calling you is not in your hands as the receiver but, in the hands of the caller. As I mentioned previously, what I found perplexing about the change of video size from full screen to a portrait sized video directly in the middle of the screen. After reading what Apple was trying to do, as I understand it, mimic Skype ability to perform group calls, I took it for granted that the two dark areas of the screen which bordered the original video were reserved for additional callers that would join the group when activated. Lacking an explanation I assumed this to be the intent. This was boasted by the fact that everything I tried to enlarge the picture failed. Well, here's what I found out: The only ability you have to change the video is to change your video that is being transmitted. If one goes to the menu selection at the top of the screen and clicks on it, you will see two options. The 1st, use landscape. The 2nd, full screen. If you select - use landscape, you won't see anything change on your screen but, it will change at the callers screen to full screen. For you to receive the caller full screen, that party will have to activate the same selection - use landscape. The full screen option that you see on your computer will give provide you FaceTime full screen but the video will remain 1/3 screen size, growing larger only in proportion to the screen getting larger. I didn't receive notice from anyone about discovering this new phenomenon that was introduced with the upgrade to Mojave so, I took it on myself to provide my findings to you. In closing, thank you all that tried to assist me on this matter. Much appreciated. I do have another matter dealing with FaceTime but, I think it to be proper to address it in a new post for it deals with another matter. [/QUOTE]
