Create a web application with an HLS stream as a central part. When viewing a stream on iOS with a smaller screen, it automatically launches the player in full screen mode. Is there any way to prevent this?
From Apple docs:
Safari can play HTTP streams in a web page on iPad and desktop computers, and Safari launches a full-screen media player for HTTP streams on iOS devices with small screens, such as iPhone and iPod touch.
I could not find any details on how to prevent the full functionality of the screen. This should be possible as it plays the stream inside the page on the iPad ...
The stream is defined in the tag <video>like this:
<video id="video" muted>
<source src="{{HLS_URL}}" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
