Is allowfullscreen required for videos to play in fullscreen mode?

Answers:

• Yes, the allowfullscreen attribute is necessary for HTML <iframe> elements that embed videos, such as those from YouTube or Vimeo, if you want to enable fullscreen playback. This attribute allows the video to be displayed in fullscreen mode when users click the fullscreen button on the video player. Without the allowfullscreen attribute, the fullscreen option may not function correctly or may be disabled.

  For example:

  <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/video_id" 
          allowfullscreen>
  </iframe>
  

  In this example, the allowfullscreen attribute is included to enable fullscreen functionality for the embedded video.
