Question

I am going through the adobe tutorials via the discover window, but the embeded videos are too small. I have expanded the pane as large as possible but you can barely see any of the icons that the tutorial videos click on....come one adobe......This happens for all of the apps. Please help. I like  the feature of being able to follow along in the app but I want to be able to have the tutorial pane full screen on my second monitor so that I can see what the tutorial guide video is doing...

    Yeah, seriously this is so ridiculous. I just updated to Photoshop 2024 and am seeing this "Discover" microscopic window for the first time. How on earth is anybody with a 4k monitor or higher supposed to use this? You can't fullscreen the video nor can you expand the window horizontally beyond a certain fixed limit. Uploading screenshot so folks can see how baffling this oversight is.

      Hello @jackthegiantkiller,

      Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind trying to click on the Expand button on the video toolbar and checking if it helps resolve the problem?



      Looking forward to hearing from you.

       

      Thanks,

      Anubhav

        Anubhav,

        Clicking on the Expand button gives you a new window, which can be expanded only about 60% more than the tiny "Discover" window. And expanding it makes it blurry, so the still tiny type is all but illegible. Screenshot attached.

          I have the same problem. I'm quite shocked that the problem exists. Adobe should not let this happen. I have found the "Take a Tour of Illustrator" first video on YouTube. The link is Take a tour of Illustrator - Take a hands-on tour of the workspace in Adobe Illustrator. - YouTube.

           

          I will post further links to subsequent 'Adobe Tutorial Discover Videos' which users have, somehow, posted on YouTube where they are at a size to be useful to the viewer, unlike the videos in the Discover panel.

           

          \Adobe needs to be customer focussed and fix this problem, ASAP. Make the videos large enough to watch, or open them in their own window, so they can be sscaled up to a useful size, or post all the Adobe tutorial videos that are in the Illustrator Discover panel in the Illustrator channel of YouTube. Thanks

              I noticed that there aren't options to show the videos from the Discover panel fullscreen, too. If you search for the video by its name in the panel, it's likely that you'll also find it on the Adobe Creative Cloud YouTube channel where you can watch it fullscreen.
