Document.pictureInPictureElement
The
Document.pictureInPictureElement
read-only
property returns the Element
that is currently being
presented in picture-in-picture mode in this document, or null
if
picture-in-picture mode is not currently in use.
Although this property is read-only, it will not throw if it is modified (even in strict mode); the setter is a no-operation and will be ignored.
Value
A reference to the Element
object that's currently in
picture-in-picture mode; if picture-in-picture mode isn't currently in use by the
document
, the returned value is null
.
Examples
This example presents a function, exitPictureInPicture()
,
which tests the value returned by pictureInPictureElement
. If the document
is in picture-in-picture mode (pictureInPictureElement
isn't
null
), Document.exitPictureInPicture()
is run to exit
picture-in-picture mode.
function exitPictureInPicture() {
if (document.pictureInPictureElement) {
document.exitPictureInPicture();
}
}
