Fullscreen element with `requestFullscreen()` doesn't work on chrome on ipad (iPad OS 13.6)

2.1k Views Asked by Ruby At 20 July 2020 at 14:56

I'm trying to make an element enter "full screen" mode with requestFullscreen() API, and it works great in all browsers except for Chrome on iPad.

I tried this package and it also works great in all browsers, including Safari on iPad, but not Chrome on iPad.

There's even a ticket on that package from people complaining about the same issue, but with no solution.

I tried to search for this with no luck.

I wonder how Youtube does it on Chrome on iPad? Any help will be appreciated.
