recently I discovered issues with embedded youtube videos on my site - the fullscreen-button does not work anymore. It sure did once. The button is visible, but when clicked, nothing happens.

I'm using the Youtube Javascript API to embed videos in my website, much like this example by Google http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?exp=youtube#simple_embed

I use the fs=1-Parameter to enable the Fullscreen-Button. If you wanna try this out, just append it to the URL-Parameters in the example and hit "Run Code". It even doesn't seem to work in the Google Code Playground! Is this a general problem or might there be some workaround? I tried this in Chrome, FF and Opera, it's all the same.

Ah, figured it out: you need to set allowFullScreen to 'true'.
