react-native-video presentFullscreenPlayer method implementation

Can we use react-native-video plugin's presentFullscreenPlayer method?

I’m unfamiliar with it, how’s it work?

You should be able to leverage the onEnterFullscreen and onExitFullscreen events and then gain access to the player with ref to access the video directly...

<VideoPlayer
  ref={ ref => this.playerRef = ref } 
  onEnterFullscreen={ this.presentFullscreen }
/>

// elsewhere

presentFullscreen() {
  const videoComponent = this.playerRef.player.ref // <-- the <Video> component reference
  videoComponent.presentFullscreenPlayer()
}

@kylemilloy this works - I can see the native controls and status bar disappear. What styles should we be applying though?
My video is a section in a scrollview, with set width and height. I assumed a full screen functionality would pull the video into a full screen view of its own?
