Many sites offer live streaming video of events, such as sport and news, which gives people all over the world access to current information and entertainment. Live video streams may force you to use unfamiliar Web-based video players. It is possible to magnify a live stream to make it fill your entire computer monitor, even if the video player itself does not have a full-screen feature.
