Work with extension in fullscreen video tags about screenity

[alyssaxuu]

It looks like Youtube handles fullscreen differently than Vimeo / Mux. I believe Youtube makes the whole page fullscreen, and just makes the player take up the full size, so it is possible for other elements like the toolbar and annotations to be positioned on top of it (Screenity is set to the max z-index value to account for that). On Mux I've noticed that they make a specific div fullscreen, which also happens to be a shadow DOM. This means that no other element in the page can be visible, regardless of z-index. The only way the Screenity UI could be visible here is if it could be injected inside the fullscreen element, but it is not possible as far as I know with the shadow DOM.

Alternatively I could look into listening for the fullscreen event in websites and changing it so it applies to the whole document as opposed to a div, but it's likely going to break the intended functionality. I don't think there's a solution for this as a Chrome Extension unfortunately :( That said, I do have plans for making a native version of Screenity which would likely solve this problem.

@alyssaxuu , thank you. What tech stack do you plan to use for native version? If you are about desktop apps, have you thought about wrapping screenity with Electron? If yes, I can help to port it.
