Full screen player on mobile devices


Hello, I have noticed that full screen is not a default feature of the player when I embed it on mobile web sites whereas I can see that full screen is quite common behaviour when I tap play if I want to see a video content on mobile devices.
Can you please let me know if this is a feature I can set on in the platform UI or I have to work on the source code directly?
Thanks,
Simone

I would expect our player to display a fullscreen button automatically. I would also expect a double click (or double tap on a mobile device) to make the video go to fullscreen.

Can you provide a link to a test page where this is not the case?

Hi Todd,
If you have a look at this page https://www.thinkdonna.it/cosa-regalare-per-natale-ragazzo-ragazza-idee-regalo-per-adolescenti.htm using your iOS or Android device, you will see that the player does not expand fullscreen unless you use the specific button available on the player.
What I want to get is an automatic expansion as soon as the user tap on the play button.

There is no API to automatically take a video to fullscreen. My understanding is that the user interaction before going to fullscreen is mandated by the browsers as a security or privacy issue.
