As in the s8 plus, while watching youtube an icon will appear to let u fit the video to the entire screen. Now on my note 8 this icon is no longer present.

Had the same issue. Updated the Software in settings and now its working. You'll see that the Software update includes enhancements. Perhaps Samsung forgot to include that feature the first time around.

When you play a youtube video a round "crop to fit" button pops up which allows it to play fullscreen.

Have not had the icon since Monday the 11th when I received it. Took an update yesterday and problem still persisted. I then did another reset( from recovery), set up phone and let it restore everything overnight. Woke up this morning and the icon was there in youtube. Don't know wut happened but it's there. ??

It doesn't seem to matter. I can tap anywhere and the icon will pop up on the right side.

For me some videos start out cropped, like some videos from Vevo. It says "Automatically adjusted to fit screen." Then you have to tap the screen to switch it back to normal. And others start out normal and you have to tap to crop.
