After screen mirroring, if you want to watch videos from your phone on the full screen on your TV, you need to rotate the phone screen to landscape mode:
1. Open Control Center. On Phones with a Home button, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access it. On Phones without a Home button, swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen instead.
2. Check the rotation lock. If you have accidentally enabled the portrait view lock, you need to tap on the rotation lock icon (it looks like a lock with a circular arrow) and turn it off.
3. Rotate your screen from portrait to the landscape. Then you can play online videos from your phone and check if it is full screenmirrored on TV.

Nota:
1. If you are using an iPhone 8 plus and below, you are able to mirror your phone to the TV full screen without black bars.
2. If you are using iPhone X and above devices designed with a notch screen, there are black bars on the sides after the full screen mirroring. This is the original display effect of devices with notch screen, which is caused by the device itself. So the black bars have nothing to do with our app and we can not change this.
3. Different iPhone and iPad models have different aspect ratios, which are not always equivalent to the 16:9 aspect ratio of a TV screen. For the iPad, there is even more variety. If your device doesn't have the same aspect ratio as your TV, it also causes black bars on the left and right of your TV screen.

Some apps/websites are DRM(digital rights management) protected, which means that you can't screen share their videos due to copyright protection.
In this case, DRM videos like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, DirecTV, Xfinity, HBO, Disney+, iTunes Movies, and Apple TV can't be mirrored to TV and a black screen may appear when mirroring these videos.
