Stop Videos Going Fullscreen (Landscape) – I Want Fullscreen Potrait on Mobile

Deewin 2 years ago

How do I stop videos from going to fullscreen landscape when the user selects the fullscreen mode on mobile devices?

I want the videos to open fullscreen in potrait mode. Basically, mobile phones are increasingly getting bigger.

And going fullscreen mode in landscape should be enabled when the user rotates their screen to landcape.

I find fullscreen potrait mode so convinient because it also saves the battery when black bands show on top and below the video.

Hello Deewin,

we believe the screen should auto-rotate to fit the video properly when in fullscreen. Unfortunately such feature does not exist for iPhone web browsers.

I will check with our team if we would like to add some sort of a hidden preference for this.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Deewin,

now we are thinking perhaps we would like to get rid of this feature completely, but we like it for movie websites where the video is the main feature on the page and there is not thing else to do.

Thanks,
Martin
