How to make Among Us Fullscreen in Under 3 Seconds [Solved]

Among Us usually starts in Windowed mode for the regular crewmate. But if you want to play in fullscreen, here are 4 super easy solutions in under 3 seconds, or at most 3 minutes!

Solution 1: Use Keyboard Shortcuts to fullscreen in Among Us

The greatest pleasures in life come with hard work, but on PC there are shortcuts you can take to force Among Us (and other games like Genshin Impact) to go fullscreen.

Next time you boot up Among Us, try pressing a combination of these buttonson your keyboard:

1. [F11] key.
2. [Alt] [Enter] at the same time.
3. Hold [Fn] then press [F11], only if your keyboard has a Fn (function) key.

If those keyboard shortcuts did not work, you’ll have to try to change your in-game settings or activate compatibility mode. We explain these solutions in Solution 2 and 3.

3. Navigate to [Graphics] and click the fullscreen box as shown.
4. Select [Apply] to confirm.
