Full-screen mode

Tap a video in Pulse, or choose View full screen from its menu, and the video opens full screen.

In full screen

• Swipe up or down to move between videos.
• Love, Echo, open Comments, or Share from the overlay.
• The top bar has the minimise chevron, a progress indicator and mute.
• The creator row, caption and audio are overlaid at the bottom.

Every video is shown whole

In the app, in full screen no video is cut to fill the screen. Portrait, square and landscape videos all show in full on a black background, with black bars where the video is not the shape of your phone. In card mode a landscape video is also shown whole; portrait and square videos fill the card.

Going back

Tap the chevron (or swipe down from the top) to minimise. You return to card mode at exactly the video you were on — Tubaar remembers your position both ways, so switching modes never loses your place.

Which should I use?

Card mode is for browsing: more context, the next video in view, the Scene and audio in sight. Full screen is for watching: nothing but the video. Most people move between them constantly, and that's how it's meant to work.
