I don't understand what you're asking.

I have connected 3 different monitors to my macbook.
When I make a video full screen on any of them, the other screens go black.
I'm asking how can I fix this.

I believe you need to enable "Displays have separate spaces" in System Preferences / System Settings.

As @Basic75 stated, this is because your have all three of your displays set to be a single Space in the macOS System Settings.

Go to System Settings and scroll down and click on Desktop & Dock. On the right, scroll all the way down to the bottom. The last item is Displays have separate Spaces. Turn that on, and log-out of your computer and back in.

This will designate each display you have connected as a separate Space, thus allowing you to have a video in Full Screen Mode on one display, something else in Full Screen Mode on another display and perhaps another app in regular window mode on the third display.

The downside (depending on how you look at it) is that each display will have a menubar, and the Dock will jump around to whatever display Space is currently active, as will the Application Switcher (Command+Tab). Some people find this useful, but I find it incredibly annoying.

You're in the wrong tab. You're in Displays, you need to be in the one above that: Desktop & Dock

Yes this solved my problem.

Thanks.

You're very welcome. And thanks to @Basic75 for pointing it out.

I think if you press Globe key + F (Control + Command + F on Intel), with the window that you want the full screen on that screen, then you can have 3 full-screen applications. Just not 100% sure what you are asking, but I have had 2 full screen applications at once.

The problem has already been solved (see comments above)
