expand videos

Nov 21, 2016

Hi heroes,

I have a client who would like to have a video start of small on the slide with the to option to expand the video bigger if they want. 

Is this possible in storyline?

Thank you.

Amy

Hi there Amy!

There isn't a button in Storyline that will do this, but here are two options that could work for you:

  1. Add an option to open the video in another window if you've inserted the video as a web object. You could then instruct the users to utilize that option if they want to see it full screen. 
  2. If the video is inserted into Storyline as a video file, add a full-screen version of the video to a slide layer. Then, you'll need a button on the base layer that will open the slide layer. 

The difference between these two options is that with option 1, the full screen video expands to the size of the browser window, and with option 2, the full screen video expands to the size of the Storyline player.
