HTMLVideoElement: leavepictureinpicture event

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The leavepictureinpicture event is fired when the HTMLVideoElement leaves picture-in-picture mode successfully.

This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

js
addEventListener("leavepictureinpicture", (event) => { }) onleavepictureinpicture = (event) => { } 

Event type

A PictureInPictureEvent. Inherits from Event.

Event PictureInPictureEvent

Event properties

This interface also inherits properties from its parent Event.

Examples

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

Using addEventListener():

js
const video = document.querySelector("#video"); const button = document.querySelector("#button"); function onExitPip() { console.log("Picture-in-Picture mode deactivated!"); } video.addEventListener("leavepictureinpicture", onExitPip); button.onclick = () => { if (document.pictureInPictureElement) { document.exitPictureInPicture(); } }; 

Using the onleavepictureinpicture event handler property:

js
const video = document.querySelector("#video"); const button = document.querySelector("#button"); function onExitPip() { console.log("Picture-in-Picture mode deactivated!"); } video.onleavepictureinpicture = onExitPip; button.onclick = () => { if (document.pictureInPictureElement) { document.exitPictureInPicture(); } };
