How to persist fullscreen mode in browser with autoplay like youtube playlist does?

Steps:

When go to next video, the player exit fullscreen. I nedeed that just like youtube, the next video of playlist keeps in fullscreen.

I know that fullscreen Browser API just accepted fullscreen mode when is triggered by a user gesture. But, as the user has already set up full screen mode, is there a way to continue in fullscreen when going to the next video?

I also know that exits fullscreen because when go to next video, is switchted to a different page.

"In addition, navigating to another page [...] while in fullscreen mode exits fullscreen mode as well. Fullscreen API

My question is, how YouTube manages to change the window.location without exiting fullscreen?

Youtube doesn't load the next video by switching pages. It reloads/-renders the new content on the existing website.

That means that no navigation happens, and because of that, the fullscreen won't be exited.

As far as I know, they use a custom framework called SPFJS which stands for "Structured Page Fragments". It allows for insertion of new content in an already existing page.
