When using the Youtube or Tictok app in TV, content created in vertical format can be enjoyed in full screen by rotating the screen. Other Apps do not support full screen in Portrait mode yet dueto requests of those content publishers. You can switch to a larger screen to play media by changing the settings of the connected device(Mobile, PC).
