The Document
method exitFullscreen()
requests that the element on this document which is currently being presented in fullscreen mode be taken out of fullscreen mode, restoring the previous state of the screen. This usually reverses the effects of a previous call to Element.requestFullscreen()
.
On this page
Document: exitFullscreen() method
Syntax
js
exitFullscreen()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A Promise
which is resolved once the user agent has finished exiting fullscreen mode. If an error occurs while attempting to exit fullscreen mode, the catch()
handler for the promise is called.
Examples
This example causes the current document to toggle in and out of a fullscreen presentation whenever the mouse button is clicked within it.
js
document.onclick = (event) => {
if (document.fullscreenElement) {
document
.exitFullscreen()
.then(() => console.log("Document Exited from Full screen mode"))
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
} else {
document.documentElement.requestFullscreen();
}
};
Note: For a more complete example, see the Element.requestFullscreen()
examples.
