Setting fullscreen without controls

We have a video in our site but we need it to run without controls (no pause / scrub / counter). The problem is, we do want to give the user the option to watch fullscreen. I thought of adding a custom FullScreen button but I found out that there is no setFullscreen method in the API. Is there any way of enabling fullscreen? Or to enable controls only for FullScreen and maybe muting but nothing else?

Hi,

You could use CSS to hide the other control icons:

Or you could call the browser’s native Fullscreen API:
