I need to know which (DOM) events are fired when a user enter the fullscreen mode via the new Fullscreen API. I tried for example this snippet but it doesn't fire:

jQuery('body').on('fullScreenChange', function() { alert(Fired!); });

When full-screen mode is successfully engaged, the document which contains the full-screen element receives a fullscreenchange event. When full-screen mode is exited, the document again receives a fullscreenchange event. Note that the fullscreenchange event doesn't provide any information itself as to whether the document is entering or exiting full-screen mode, but if the document has a non null fullScreenElement , you know you're in full-screen mode.
