Yes, click the player tab. You will see that the menu currently displays in the sidebar. Try moving it up so that it is in Topbar Left or Topbar Right.
This removes the menu from the side panel creates a menu tab at the top of your course - it is closed by default and will expand only when the user clicks on the tab.
We tried this option however the screen view doesn’t not get any bigger. Is there a way to then enlarge the screen area over the former menu real estate?
Was already successful in removing the menu and don't have a logo. The challenge is then expanding the view for the main content window to make use of the new space vacated by the menu - it doesn't change size for us. Any other suggestions?
Hi Peter - one thing you can do is change the story size to make the screen wider. To do this click the Design tab on the Storyline Ribbon at the top and select the Story Size icon at the left. You can set the size to anything you want here.
I usually do this before creating any content so am not exactly sure what the results will be if you try to resize an existing project. I might save a back up copy of your file before making the adjustments just in case content does not scale propoerly when you change the story size.
If you want the Menu in the Top Left or Top Right position and wish to display on an iPad, we have found that setting the story size to 960 x 544 fills Safari nicely with the published Storyline interface.
Hi Mathew! You can choose to have the menu display in the topbar right via player properties. Check out this tutorial on how to do so and just let us know if you have any further questions.

You can put it in the top menu bar. The learner would have to click it when they wanted to see it. Would that work?

Thank you.
Peter,
Do you currently have a logo selected? I deleted my logo and unclicked the logo option box in the Player Properties and it got rid of the side menu.
Hope that works for you.
Thanks, Jennifer.

Can anyone please provide an updated version of how to remove the menu bar from a storyline course? I don't want it seen by the participants
Hi Monica and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
If you'd like to remove the menu from your course altogether, you can certainly do so by unselecting the Menu in your Player Properties:
