Presentation does not fill entire screen on PC

I would like my presentation to use the entire width of the player when published. When I set up the player, the image shows that the presentation will fill the screen.
However, when I preview and publish the course, the presentation does not fill the entire screen.
I have my story size set to 16:9
Am I missing a setting that will fix this?

Hello, Lynn. Thanks for those screenshots–super helpful to see!
The modern player will adapt to the size of the browser window, and the slide will fill the player as much as it can, without stretching or scaling larger than the set story size. Like in your picture, the slide content will not stretch horizontally to fill the screen.
With your goal in mind, could adding custom navigation buttons to your slide and setting the Menus & Controls option to Off work for your design?
Let me know if that helps!
Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that's not an ideal solution. I really need all the screen real estate available and I have to include the menu in this project. :-(
Hi Lynn!
Another suggestion is to launch the course in a new browser which is a setting configured in the Player Properties as well! We have more details on this setting in this support article.
It's an easy fix! Here's what it looks like.
You can also switch to a full-screen mode that will use all available space and will hide the taskbar and browser panels: https://cluelabs.com/full-screen-mode-elearning-widget.html
Thanks, Lauren and Nicholas for the suggestions. I'll give them a try.
