The fullscreenerror
event is fired when the browser cannot switch to fullscreen mode.
As with the fullscreenchange
event, two fullscreenerror
events are fired; the first is sent to the Element
which failed to change modes, and the second is sent to the Document
which owns that element.
For some reasons that switching into fullscreen mode might fail, see the guide to the Fullscreen API.
This event is not cancelable.
SyntaxUse the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("fullscreenerror", (event) => { })
onfullscreenerror = (event) => { }
