Full screen video content

Hi there Thomas!

Have you inserted the video as an MP4 file? There isn't a full screen button as a part of the Storyline video controls or within the Storyline player itself. If you want the embedded video to play full-screen within the Storyline player, you'll want to adjust the Player Properties to 'Resize browser to fill screen' and 'Scale player to fill browser window'.

Another option is to insert the video as a Web Object (for example from YouTube or Vimeo). That would allow you to us the normal video controls, which often include full screen viewing. If you insert the video as a Web Object and you don't see the full screen button, it could be because the web browser is restricting fullscreen mode for embedded iframe content.

Having a full screen option without having to use web objects or slide layers would being a great addition, surely someone must have requested it by now?

Use this widget to go in full screen and back using one-line javascript triggers https://cluelabs.com/full-screen-mode-elearning-widget.html For example, you can add a trigger to go full screen on timeline start on the slide with video, and then another trigger to exit full screen when media completes or timeline ends.

Hello, everyone. 

I have exciting news to share!

We have just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 67, we've included important fixes and features. 

One of the features we've included is: 

Adding a player toggle to let learners view courses in full-screen mode.

To take advantage of this feature, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.

I'm totally confused why there is no fullscreen button like every player out there for video.  I'm talking about video control inside the player.  the player is already set to fill screen and browser but the video is on screen with text.

So does one have to build a custom control bar for the video where the fullscreen would be a motion path or grow to get the video to seem larger onclick?

I would like to chime in to the request to add a full screen button for videos inserted from files.  It definitely seems pretty standard on any video player, so it would be nice to have.  Thanks 

Yes Pleeease, can we have this update as a priority, with such a good product, I too am surprised that it lacks this functionality.

I support the option to have a full screen button.

The Flash video player was layered at the bottom of the video and faded out after a few seconds, like on YouTube. In addition, there was also a Download button.

Considering that embedded videos are often limited in space, to make them full screen would be the best way to view them, as mobile devices are more used than computers.

Agreed - add my vote for adding this to the roadmap - feature long overdue in many of your applications - full screen video capability please. Asking us to take media we own and put it into another content management system like YouTube or Vimeo simply is not respecting that many times the content of these courses is highly proprietary and we all know that security is very much a sliding scale of tolerance these days when you let other vehicles manage your content for you. Four years overdue, but it won't make the roadmap unless we continue to push and persist in the insistence for inclusion of a technology that is now probably standard fare pretty much everywhere.  

Full screen view capability for embedded video in Storyline please!

Hi Alyssa,

UIsually, yes; it is an mp4.

Hmm...thanks for the suggestions. I will give them a try.

Thanks
