HBO and TED talks video maximizes on wrong monitor

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 484 / 2 Years ago, fri, july 1, 2022, 5:56:56

I want to stream videos from my laptop to my TV through an HDMI cable that I have bought. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.

While I have been able to do this for YouTube videos, I haven't for others like HBO and TED talks. The reason is that when I maximize it to full screen, the video gets maximized on my laptop monitor.

Does someone know how to fix this?

Notice that what I mean with maximization is not about the window, but about the video which I want to watch.

Thanks a bunch.

I have had to modify the layout of the screens and put the TV on the left of the laptop LCD.

To do that go to Settings > Displays

Then drag the TV to the left of the laptop LCD.

If that does not work you could choose to turn off the laptop LCD and have only the TV on.
