I have UIWebView inside a modal popover that's a PresentationPageSheet style. When Youtube videos are played in full screen the expected behaviour is for them to popover full screen. Instead they just play inside the popover controllers dimensions. enter image description here

Of course they only expand to fill their container! It would be dangerous for any web frame to be able to expand full-screen and leap put of its bounds on iOS, it implies that the DOM knows too much about the windowing system. –  CodaFi Jun 9 '13 at 3:33

The simple answer is that you have to embed the video inside an iframe. 

if (self.youTubeID) {
    NSString *embeddedYouTubeURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.youtube.com/embed/%@",self.youTubeID];
    //NSString *controls = @"?controls=2&autohide=1";
    self.webView.opaque = NO;
    self.webView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<!DOCTYPE HTML><head></head><html><body><iframe width='%f' height='%f' src='%@' allowfullscreen></iframe></body></html>", self.webView.frame.size.width *2, self.webView.frame.size.height*2, embeddedYouTubeURL];
    [self.webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil]; }
