It is possible to "allowfullscreen" when opening a youtube link in an iframe?

My HTML knowledge is very patched together and out of date, so this is probably just a huge mess.

What I have is an iframe called "videosframe" that I have links directing youtube videos into, and I want them to have the youtube fullscreen option.

Currently:

<iframe src="source" name="videosframe"></iframe>

<a href="youtubelink" target="videosframe"><img src="youtubethumbnail"></a>

And I have several of the youtube links, all same format as the one above.

The target so that the videos open in the iframe works fine, but none of them have the "allowfullscreen" enabled, and I'm not sure how to go about adding it. I'm thinking that I'll have to do something entirely different instead of using links pointing to the iframe, but I'm not sure what is best.

Thanks in advance -

what tests you did? do you have a work in progress? – Amr Elgarhy
Added a jsfiddle to the original post - my latest attempt was to make an iframe with an onclick function to open in the videosframe, but that didn't work. All my work is kind of guesswork though. – Speaker

Adding "allowfullscreen" to the iframe itself fixed this.

...Can't believe I didn't try that sooner.
