Can Minecraft not open in fullscreen and cover my entire desktop?

Question

When I open up Minecraft, it automatically goes 'full screen' and covers my entire desktop. It can be played as usual, but I prefer having it split screen with YouTube while I am playing, and since Minecraft is fullscreen, I can't do that. I tried to perform the three finger swipe gesture, but Minecraft simply minimizes itself.

Is there a way for me to make Minecraft not fullscreen? I have a MacBook Air 13".

The shortcut for toggling fullscreen mode is F11. Try it out and see, whether it works. — GiantTree, Nov 29 '20 at 11:31
Does this answer your question? How do I alt-tab out of fullscreen Minecraft with the game still running (Mac)? — aphid, Dec 01 '20 at 08:03
How is this question unclear? The original poster is just asking how to play Minecraft windowed. — John, Dec 01 '20 at 14:59

Try hitting F11 or go into settings to go out of full-screen

You should find the full screen toggle in the settings. Then, you can adjust the window's resolution in the Launcher.
