If you are using the extension method, take note of the section where it says "Place controls within a control bar - Below the video player". If you select, "Place controls within the video player" it will hide the extra bars and make it look neater. You can also check and uncheck each icon you might not want and adjust this yourself. However, as with all extensions, use with caution in mind! Update: Looks like it's anything above 1080p resolution.
As I was searching for a solution, I got here from reddit, and this video already opened properly, no zoom in or anything. My youtube is now fixed. Than you magic man.. I guess?
There's another fix to consider: in the mis-zoomed default view, press i twice, this will make it go to mini window, and when it comes back, the default view will be normal. This will take around 2 seconds per video, depending on how fast your machine process the display.
Good to know this is a bug. Really annoying. I have a few youtube accounts so when I switch to them, the others are fine. It's just my main one that's messed up. I guess I'll keep it on Theatre mode "t" for now until they fix it. At lest I don't have to waste any more time trying to figure out what's wrong with my profile. Just good to know it's not me.
Had this exact same issue, noticed on my 1440p monitor that in default view, the video was cropped and the control icons missing! It looked like it was playing in thearte mode. Pulled the screen across to my Laptop screen and no issues. What a weird bug!
yup, this is the same for me too. Only one profile. They probably host older profiles on a separate server which has its settings outdated or corrupted.
and with Brave too my friend. i found out after many tests than when we disconnect from our google account the controls at the right bottom come back.....and I'm at 1440p 21.9

I've been looking around the internet about this issue. I thought I was the only one experiencing this and its very annoying. I hope they fix it asap.

Thank you!!
Weird thing is this happens to me on only one account, when I switched to another it goes away, wonder if it is a bug

Yup, it's very likely it's a profile issue so the controls come back when you use a different profile
Having the same issue, i was endlessly searching for a solution...
I hope these workarounds helped! UA-cam should fix this soon...I hope!
Thanks !
Same issue here, glad is not my account that is screwed up
Yea I believe it's a profile thing so as soon as they look into it, it should be fixed. I've submitted a bug report too to youtube, fingers crossed!
Wait, chrome extention? Hahaha! No thank you, Sir!
It's an option only, of course, you have to be careful of security issues too.
I use Vivaldi browser, no issues with this at all.
Interesting, did you have an issue before with another browser though?
@@LetMeFixIT I don't use any other browser, so no.
