Auto-Full Screen for a Youtube embed

Question

I have a Youtube video embeded on a webpage.

Is it possible to have the video go full screen when the user presses play, using the HTML5 iframe with Youtube\'s API?

Answer 1

This isn't possible with the youtube embed code or the youtube javascript API as far as I know. You would have to write your own player to have this functionality.

Doing some reading it looks like you can use the chromeless youtube player and it will resize itself to the width and height of its parent element.

That means that if you use the chromeless player you can resize the div with javascript with the play event is triggered.
