Firefox fullscreen video append DOM elements


no matter how I put elements in DOM as an overlay on html5 video (statically or dynamically), those elements in Firefox are not visible, although the z-index is set to 2147483647, opacity 1 and display block.

See 2 similar answers, working in Chrome, but not in FF:

Overlay on HTML5 Fullscreen Video

Displaying elements other than fullscreen element (HTML5 fullscreen API)


Solution

  • To Display Overlay Element, instead of making video fullscreen, make parent of Video Element Fullscreen.

    See Example Here - https://jsfiddle.net/tv1981/tm069z9c/128/

    In following structure, I am making 'container' fullscreen

    <div id="container">
      <div class="btn-fs" id="btnFS">
        Fullscreen
      </div>
      <div class='logo'>
        Logo Overlay
      </div>
      <video width="100%" height="100%" autoplay muted>
        <source src="https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2017/04/file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag.
      </video>
      <div class='footer'>
        This is Test Overlay for Video
      </div>
    </div>
    

    JavaScript

    fs.addEventListener('click', goFullScreen);
    
    function goFullScreen() {
      var fullscreenElement = document.fullscreenElement || document.mozFullScreenElement ||
        document.webkitFullscreenElement || document.msFullscreenElement;
      if (fullscreenElement) {
        exitFullscreen();
      } else {
        launchIntoFullscreen(document.getElementById('container'));
      }
    }
    

    This is working in Chrome Version 60.0.3112.101 (Official Build) (64-bit), FireFox Developer Edition 56.0b5 (64-bit)
