Fullscreen functionality

Third party player controls should implement the fullscreen functionality on the client side with the HTML5 Fullscreen API.

Necessary steps

  • switch your embed container to fullscreen mode with HTML5 FullScreen API
  • handle the iframe size accordingly
  • IBM Video Streaming embed will adopt to the resized iframe size responsively

Example

loading

Javascript

var fullScreenBtn = document.getElementById('fullScreenBtn');
var container = document.getElementById('Container');
document.addEventListener("fullscreenchange",changeHandler);
document.addEventListener("webkitfullscreenchange",changeHandler);
document.addEventListener("mozfullscreenchange",changeHandler);
document.addEventListener("MSFullscreenChange", changeHandler, false);
// trigger fullscreen change on our custom button click
