My publish player is smaller than I would like. I've been working with a 16:9 format in PowerPoint 2010 where I have a custom size set as 13.33 x 7.5 inches.
In the Articulate ribbon of PowerPoint I went to the Player Properties and selected the Other settings. I have the following settings:
Browser size: Resize browser to fill screen
Player size: Lock player at optimal size
Launch player in new window (display window with no browser controls and allow user to resize browser)
Any tips on how to get a larger player...my text and videos look quite small with these current settings.
I was able to get my 16:9 (13.33 x 7.5") PowerPoint to fill the screen nicely. I had to tweak the "other" settings in the Player Properties with the following changes:
Browser size: Resize browser to fill screen
Player size: Scale player to fill browser window
Launch player in new window (display window with no browser controls and allow user to resize browser)
With settings my published player opens in a window that is as large as the screen. The only quirk I see is that even though I have not selected "Allow user to resize browser" I can still resize the browser window of the published presentation. That may be a bug to investigate.
Why this doesn't work with "lock player at optimal size" I don't know, but the above settings worked for me.
Thanks very much for sharing that information! I'll certainly pass this along and see if we can do some additional testing with the information you provided.

Thanks again, both of you, and have a Happy Holiday!

Hi there Eric,
I believe this may be related to an issue we recently discovered regarding custom PowerPoint/Presenter slide sizes.
Can you take a look at the thread below and let me know if this sounds like the issue you're experiencing, please?
Presenter 13: PowerPoint Page Setup vs. Published Size
Thank you!
Sounds like the "Lock player at optimal size" issue. Changing page size does not affect the optiomal size in the output.
