Description

Auto-scrolling video is a key business feature for businesses delivering professional video. We have built most functionality for auto-scrolling with Mux Player, but we need to programmatically exit the fullscreen mode.

Expected Behavior

There should be an API on the DOM element (or somewhere?) where we can programmatically enter or exit full screen mode.

thanks for the feedback!

yes, I think we're missing a few player methods that would make this easier similar to PiP https://github.com/muxinc/elements/issues/493

we'll see if we can add direct methods for PiP and Fullscreen

I'm also looking to programmatically enter full screen when playback is triggered on mobile devices.

In conjunction with this not only allowing esc to exit full screen (which it does) but clicking the full screen button again should exit. Currently it only take you into full screen.
