allowfullscreen
an HTML attribute for the iframe tag

Is allowfullscreen only for video embedding in iframes?

Answers:

  • The allowfullscreen attribute is primarily used with <iframe> elements to indicate that the embedded content (usually video or interactive media) can be displayed in full-screen mode. While it is most commonly seen in the context of video embedding (for platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), it is not strictly limited to video content.

    The allowfullscreen attribute simply enables full-screen capability for any content that is embedded in an iframe. This could include interactive applications, games, or other media that support full-screen functionality. However, the content itself must also be designed to handle full-screen requests; if it doesn't support full-screen, the attribute will have no effect.

    In summary, while allowfullscreen is often associated with video content, it can be used with any iframe content that is capable of being displayed in full-screen mode.
