Exit Fullscreen programmatically?

So I understand there is no API to enter fullscreen mode (due to phishing scams etc), but is there a way to make the player EXIT fullscreen mode?

(I've tried various things like stop(), remove(), resize(), and hiding the parent container but nothing seems to work. I read somewhere that when the video completes, it kicks it out of fullscreen, but I'm either displaying a live stream or a "no video available" mp4 file with the "repeat" setup option set to true, so it never completes.)

Thanks.

There is not, I’m afraid.

For future reference: As a workaround, I changed setup to repeat: false, and loaded a short mp4 which then completes and makes it exit fullscreen.

What about livestreaming? How can I make the player exit full screen while playing a livestream and a error occurs?

You could look for onError() and then refresh the page.
