Troubleshoot: Fullscreen button missing from the player

The fullscreen button will be hidden from the player in scenarios where fullscreen mode cannot be activated. Here are some common causes:

• First check the Player tab. Make sure the fullscreen button is toggled on under the Controls section.
  
  
• The iframe embed code is missing the fullscreen attributes: "mozallowfullscreen,""webkitallowfullscreen," and "allowfullscreen." If you’re pasting your embed code into another application, make sure these values are being retained.
  • Example embed code:

  • <div style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;"><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/000&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" 
    mozallowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen allowfullscreen
    style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" title="Example video does not exist"></iframe></div><script src="https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js"></script>

• The player iframe is contained within another iframe that is missing the fullscreen attributes. Browsers do not allow iframes to enter fullscreen if they are contained within other iframes without these fullscreen attributes. Try inserting the player outside of the container iframe or adding "mozallowfullscreen," "webkitallowfullscreen," and "allowfullscreen" to the container iframe.
• The iframe is contained within a frame. Frame elements cannot enter fullscreen, and neither can any iframes inside of them. We recommend removing all frame tags from your page’s source code.
