Extra space on the right and left sides of Storyline player that I can't get rid of :)
Hi!
I am stumped! I am developing a course in Storyline 1 and I can't figure out why there is extra space on either side of the player. See image "Client A." I want it to look like "Client B."
See the difference in the player footprint size - while the slide content size itself is the same across both
Anyone have an idea of what could be causing the extra space?
Thank you!

Hi Brooke
go into storyview and view each slide properties...One of them will have something ticked like menu or notes that is displaying as that side space. So even if you don't have player properties for side panel menu or notes selected, if it is ticked in one of the slides SL will 'allow' for it.

This helped me too! However, I'm still finding that there is blank space at the bottom of slides. See the attached file; Slide 1.1 has the shape aligned to the bottom of the slide, and Slide 1.2 has it aligned about 1 or 2 at a -2 on the Y axis.
Any ideas?
Hey Eric!
Thanks for including your file here! How much extra space are you seeing at the bottom of the slide -- one or two pixels, or more than that?
Also, what version of Storyline are you using? To check, click the Help tab, then click About Storyline. If you're using Storyline 360, you should see 3.17.16188.0 in the bottom-right corner.

Yes, it's probably a pixel or two. I'm using Storyline 360.

I am still seeing the empty space on either side of my course. I have set my dimensions to the 16:9 setting, is this a problem? I only hve 2 slides at this point and menu is unchecked every spot I can think of.
Hello Gigi!
I'm happy to help! If you're looking for more room for your slides, I'd also consider removing the Player's controls. You can do this by switching the controls to OFF.
I'd also recommend choosing to launch the course in a browser window and set the window to display at full screen. Here's what that setting looks like in the Player: Link
Please let me know if you have any questions!
