To zoom out on YouTube on your iPad, you'll use a simple pinch-to-zoom gesture directly on the video playback.


How to Zoom Out of a YouTube Video on Your iPad

If you've previously zoomed in on a YouTube video on your iPad, perhaps to get a closer look at a specific detail, you can easily revert to the original view. The process involves a common multi-touch gesture familiar to iPad users.

Step-by-Step Guide to Zooming Out

Follow these instructions to zoom out of your YouTube video:

  1. Ensure Video is Playing: Make sure the YouTube video you want to zoom out of is currently playing on your iPad.
  2. Touch the Video Screen: Place two fingers (e.g., your thumb and index finger) anywhere on the video area on your iPad's screen.
  3. Pinch Inward: While your two fingers are touching the screen, slowly move them towards one another (pinch them together).
  4. Observe the Change: As you perform this gesture, the video will begin to shrink back to its default size, effectively zooming out. Continue pinching until the video returns to your desired level of magnification or its original fit within the screen.

This intuitive gesture allows for quick adjustments to the video's display size, letting you control your viewing experience on YouTube.
