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.
Step
Check the video player application to see if it has a full-screen button built in. Many video applications have this button on a tool bar located underneath the video. If you cannot locate a full-screen feature, go to Step 2.
Step
Position your mouse in the center of the live video.
Step
Hold down the Windows key. It typically is located next to the left "Alt" key.
Step
Press the "+" (plus) key while holding the Windows key. The screen will magnify to 200 percent, centering itself where you positioned the mouse.
