A PictureInPictureEvent. Inherits from Event.

Event properties

This interface also inherits properties from its parent Event.

Examples

These examples add an event listener for the HTMLVideoElement's enterpictureinpicture event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.

Using addEventListener():

const video = document.querySelector("#video");
const button = document.querySelector("#button");

function onEnterPip() {
  console.log("Picture-in-Picture mode activated!");
}

video.addEventListener("enterpictureinpicture", onEnterPip, false);

button.onclick = () => {
  video.requestPictureInPicture();
};

Using the onenterpictureinpicture event handler property:

const video = document.querySelector("#video");
const button = document.querySelector("#button");

function onEnterPip() {
  console.log("Picture-in-Picture mode activated!");
}

video.onenterpictureinpicture = onEnterPip;

button.onclick = () => {
  video.requestPictureInPicture();
};
