Hello,

Does any one have the issue that when the Power App is play mode it only uses half the screen? Made it as a responsive app. When I changed the screen width and height to = app.width and app.height and then changed the display to FIXED, I was able to get full screen in play but now its fixed. Does any one know how to make it play in full screen when its responsive?

To get it "responsive" though it says its Fixed I did this:

I'm sure I'm doing it wrong.

Screen properties

Height = Max(App.Height, App.MinScreenHeight)

Width = Max(App.Width, App.MinScreenWidth)

Display Settings

Hello @S S,

Screen and display setting is correct only.

I suspect the issue may now be coming from one of the parent containers rather than the Screen settings themselves, especially container Height/Width settings.

Could you please check/share:

#1. Main container Height property
#2. Main container Width property
#3. Whether any container has fixed values like: (hight and Width)

Please also try temporarily setting the main container to:

Width = Parent.Width Height = Parent.Height
