Hello All,
I noticed a really cool feature that seems to be exclusive to YouTube and Crunchyroll. When using a smartphone, the media player defaults to a minimal screen size, but the user has the option to expand it to full screen for a more immersive viewing experience. By default Plex goes to play the video on full screen. if i do not make sense please see this very short video of what i am trying to communicate here in this request.
Here is screenshot as well:

Here is a video i made to express my idea:
The reason behind this feature request is that the minimal video player view is incredibly useful when I’m driving or multitasking. It allows me to easily skip content, read episode information, and keep track of what I’m watching without needing to switch to full screen. I’ve been using this feature on YouTube 100% of the time, as I rarely watch media on a big TV or tablet. even when i am on my phone i never watch anything on full screen. I truly believe adding this functionality would be a great upgrade and enhance the overall user experience.
If this does not make sense please let me know and i can do my best to explain better
