Open browser streams in full screen mode (without having to click 'interact')

Using a Browser Source in OBS to record a stream.

Anytime I open a stream, I need to click 'Interact', then click full screen, then exit to record full screen.

I have seen many suggestions to OBS>General>Projectors>save projectors on exit. I have tried this every way I can think of but when I reopen OBS, I still need to interact with the browser scenes and click Full Screen again. Am I doing this incorrect?

I installed Advanced Scene Switcher but do not see a solution in there either.

The problem here is that using Advanced Scene Switcher to automatically record will record the full screen but the actual video will only be in the top 1/4 of the screen.

When I try to click on the Full Screen and/or Windowed projectors, they are not affecting the screen in the same way that 'interact' gives me a Full Screen option.

Can anyone help me set up OBS to record streams in full screen?

Many thanks

The correctly formatted link can help.

To avoid using the "Interact" screen, a full-screen link can be provided to the Browser source from the beginning.

The following is an example using a live security feed from the Venice Beach, CA available on YouTube.
HTML: 
<!--
  Typical Link.  Entered into Firefox or Chrome's
  URL address bar. 
-->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvOjJoSEFM0

<!--
  In the URL bar, add '_popup' to the address
  and hit ENTER.
-->
https://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=vvOjJoSEFM0

<!--
  A new link will be provided.
-->
https://www.youtube.com/embed/vvOjJoSEFM0

<!-- To add autoplay... -->
https://www.youtube.com/embed/vvOjJoSEFM0?autoplay=1

Entering the first link in this example will result in the need to use the "Interact" screen to provide a full-screen source. Using the final link as a Browser source will load and play the full-screen version each time the source is selected.

Hope this helps.

There is something strange about this ipcamlive feed. The account ID can be found by looking at the page source code, in this case, #5582ee930f0e6. The ID can be used in the generic ipcamlive URL. Unfortunately, the autoplay setting seems to have no effect on this particular stream. Below is a link that works as expected and the Sioux Falls Downtown feed which refuses to autoplay. Perhaps a contact with the tech support folks at ipcamlive would provide some insight.

Thank you for sharing these details for YouTube streams. Do you know how one could automatically (without needing to click "Interact") open a full-screen live Twitch stream in a browser source?
