    When a value was set before the Player was added to the view, it will have precedence over the value configured in StyleConfig.scalingMode.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var scalingMode: ScalingMode { get set }

  • The player enters Picture-In-Picture mode. Has no effects if already in picture in picture.

    • Starting Picture-In-Picture during casting is not supported and will result in a no-op.
    • This has no effect when using system UI.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func enterPictureInPicture()

  • The player exits Picture-In-Picture mode. Has no effect if not in Picture-In-Picture mode.
