Issue with full screen

Hi Kent,

Storyline doesn't have a true full screen option, but you can add parameters to your YouTube video to allow it to go full screen. You'll see the information at the bottom of this article, and hope that helps! 

I did not find any reference to making it full screen in the link.

However: this works and goes full screen but still has YouTube header and footer. Much better.

Thanks so much for stopping in with an update and passing that info along, Kent! 

Are there particular web object settings that need to be used to get the YouTube video to have the option of Full Screen while still within the articulate presentation?

Does it matter how the project is published?

Michael:

Yes, I found in order to get the YouTube video to play full screen then you must make sure the web address is in this format:

https://www.youtube.com/v/videoname

Replace the videoname with the name of your video e.g. bf3vORd2rgs.

https://www.youtube.com/v/  this address being your base then add video name.

Your address might reflect some path through bing or another search engine which you will need to change.

In Storyline 2 then also make sure the "player" settings are set to full screen and browser controls enabled as well.

When the file is exported to a LMS Scorm 1.2 all works fine. Have not tested all other publishing formats yet.

Hope this helps you.

Sorry you cannot view full screen in player within Articulate Storyline 2. Only after published.

Thanks for popping in to assist Michael here Kent :)

Michael: One last item. Ensure you press "Alt" and "Enter" keys 1) soon as player starts (to maximize the player to full screen) 2) after a video plays (which allows you to close video) and 3) again on player resumption, to maximize the player to full screen again. The videos will automatically go full screen if you do this.

When I publish https://www.youtube.com/v/8t_Vzeq5L3g?controls=1 as a web object to display in slide and output as html5 the full screen icon in the lower right corner is disabled. Could it be specific to the video or is it the publication as html 5 thats the problem?

Michael:

I tried the video above and it works for me. Here are the images of what to toggle on/off. Be sure to hit "Alt" "Enter" keys prior to the player playing and again when finished to be able to close the web window. Video will show in full browser screen.

Thanks for responding Kent. I get a different experience when I publish to the web (not LMS). 

If I set up the web object as

• Display in new browser window & Load web object automatically ticked
  • When I visit the slide housing the web object on Chrome it a new tab is opened and the video starts playing automatically
• Display in new browser window & Load web object automatically not ticked
  • Portion of the YouTube page for the video is displayed as if a screen shot, when I  click the graphic to start the video which then opens a new tab with the video full screen

What I was hoping for was.

User visits the slide, sees the embedded video and can decide to play in the size "as is" or use the player control to view the video full screen where by when the video ends the user is returned to the slide

Michael: I have not had great success with embedded video's yet. Still some work to do to figure out them.
