Try exiting full-screen in the video player (green button) back to windowed mode and then double clicking the title bar. It’s not full, full-screen, but it’s the largest window you can get.

I’m still not sure why you can’t switch between applications even if they aren’t on the same workspace though. Cmd tab, Cmd tab takes me from a full-screen video to the last app on a separate workspace, and right back to the video.

And if you want to see other apps at the same time as the video, no wonder full-screen gets in the way.

The problem is if it isn't a dedicated video app. Say for example a video embedded in a webpage. Then you can maximise the browser window, but the video itself still takes up a small part of the screen.

You say that, but is doesn't on windows or linux. And it didn't used to on macOS either until they changed things around a few years ago.
