fullscreenerror Event
Example
Alert some text if an element can not be viewed in fullscreen mode:
document.addEventListener("fullscreenerror", function() {
alert("Fullscreen denied")
});
Definition and Usage
The fullscreenerror event occurs when an element can not be viewed in fullscreen mode, even if it has been requested.
Note: This event requires specific prefixes to work in different browsers (see Browser Support below).
Tip: Use the element.requestFullscreen() method to view an element in fullscreen mode.
Tip: Use the element.exitFullscreen() method to cancel fullscreen mode.
