Hey UE’rs,  
My name is Max and I am completely new in this, with quite some experiences in AutoCad I would like expand my knowledge in UE. I tried to find any questions/topics/answers relatable to mine but can not find anything. I run UE4 editor (newest version) on a new MacBook Pro 16 via Xcode and would like to work in it fullscreen, but whenever I click on the green + my dock and menu bar stay visible. When I use my mission control and check my tabs, UE4 is running on my desktop. How can I switch to full screen?

Thanks in advance ❤︎

I’ve also been having the same issue. Did you find a solution to it?

I don’t think it supports fullscreen which is just absurd in 2022.
