I have my own controls on top of the video player and I am trying to call player.SetFullScreen(true). This does’nt seems to work and returns error.  
Is there any solution? As Twitch controls do provide full screen feature, how does that work?

Duplicate post.

Basically you can’t the browser blocks this interaction, only the player itself can initiate this
