The fullscreenerror
event is fired when the browser cannot switch to full-screen mode.

Event handler property | onfullscreenerror |
As with the fullscreenchange
event, two fullscreenerror
events are fired; the first is sent to the Element
which failed to change modes, and the second is sent to the Document
which owns that element.
For some reasons that switching into full-screen mode might fail, see the guide to the Fullscreen API.
Examples
const requestor = document.querySelector('div'); document.addEventListener('fullscreenerror', (event) => { console.error('an error occurred changing into fullscreen'); console.log(event); }); requestor.requestFullscreen();
