PPA description
*** THIS PPA IS NOW OBSOLETE --- please use ppa:savoury1/vlc3 instead! ***
Note about full screen issues: A long standing bug [1] first reported over three years ago (July 2019) related to VLC > 3.0.3 for users of particular desktop environments has now been fixed at last in latest VLC 3.0.18 with some changes [2] to how VLC handles the playback bar in fullsreen mode! So all users of this PPA should now use the main VLC PPA (ppa:savoury1/

UPDATE (24 May 2022): Anyone with no audio since the recent VLC update at this PPA (package versions 3.0.17.
sudo apt-get purge vlc-plugin-pipewire
See https:/
This new vlc-plugin-pipewire package will now be on all those systems that updated to the mentioned VLC package version, if "Recommends" packages are auto-installed. This seems to be Focal and newer series (same as Debian), but seems to not be so with default installations of earlier series (ie. Bionic). An update to VLC here today has demoted the vlc-plugin-pipewire package from Recommends to Suggests to fix the issue. *** END UPDATE ***
This PPA contains a patched version of VLC with one commit relative to Qt reverted, due that commit causing issues in fullscreen mode when using MATE and Unity (and possibly other) desktop environments. See the links below for details about this Qt related issue in VLC 3.0.4 and higher.
Due the version string for VLC here (+mate added to Debian pkg version) it will supersede the regular VLC build also published on this Launchpad site (see ppa:savoury1/vlc). Thus, only add this PPA to your system if you are sure you need the fullscreen bugfix that affects MATE (and other) DEs!

VideoLAN Forums: VLC 3.0.4 fullscreen bug (Ubuntu 18.04)

According to Rémi Denis-Courmont (lead VLC developer) it is not a VLC bug:

It appears to be an unresolved issue between Qt and some desktop managers. If using MATE or Unity (or another affected desktop manger) reverting this single commit changing a single line of code fixes the issue immediately:
