Insert Video from Website Issue with Size
Apr 22, 2016

I have a project with a 'video from website' on a simple slide with no other actions or layers. When I publish, post on my web server and play the module the video is not filling the frame. In IE8 (yes my company still uses this) it's not so noticeable. In Chrome it displays anywhere from about 1/4 of the screen to about 3/4 of the screen. I cannot figure out if there is a setting I am missing or if there is something in the iframe code... I am linking to something other than Vimeo or Screener (company video hosting site) but the video does play with no issues other than sizing.

Hi April,
Have you also tried to use the "insert as web object" to see if that allows it to work as expected? If you're still having difficulty could you share the .story file so that we could take a look at the file and the code?
Thanks for the suggestion; I tried it but it would not play at all. I also tried using various sizes of the video in iframe--- it made no difference.
Unfortunately, I can't share these particular files because of company restrictions on the content.
If, despite that, anyone has other suggestions I'd be grateful.
Hi April,
Can you share privately? You can send along to our team here and they'd be able to take a look.
Hi Guys
Did you find a solution to this? I think I have the same issue
Thanks

Never mind - looks like on my file it was just an inconsistency between what is displayed during local preview vs what you see in the published output. Everything works as expected when published and hosted online.
Thanks Harri for that update - we always recommend testing the published output in it's final environment. So LMS, web server, etc. to make sure it all works as you'd expect.
