We have a platform we would like to use a Storyline course on that has a built-in player. Is there a way to remove the Storyline player from my course?
When you remove all of the elements, the player boarder is actually quite small. However, if you want it to appear chromeless (or invisible), I'd recommend checking out the following information:
How to create a chromeless player
Can you completely hide or remove the Storyline player? Yes! Here's how:
Turn off the player features
First, turn off all the player features:
Go to Home > Player.
On the Features tab, deselect all options.
Make the player border transparent
Then modify the color scheme to make the player border transparent:
While you're still in the Player Properties dialog, click Colors & Effects.
Click the link to Show advanced color editing.
From the Edit item drop-down list, select base >> bg, and make it 100% transparent.
From the Edit item drop-down list, select base >> border, and make it 100% transparent.
From the Edit item drop-down list, select base >> slide_bg, and make it 100% transparent.
Save your chromeless player for use in other courses
If you want to use the same chromeless player in other Storyline courses, save it as a player template:
While you're still in the Player Properties dialog, click the Current Player drop-down, and selectSave as.
Give it a recognizable name, and click OK.
Click OK again to close the Player Properties dialog.
Remove the Prev, Next, and Submit buttons
By default, each slide in Storyline will either have Prev / Next buttons or a Submit button. You'll also need to remove these to make your player completely chromeless:
Can I ask... if you set a fixed size for your learning, say 1024 wide, is the player added to this size? Or is the player inclusive of the size you set... i.e. 1024 including the player? Thanks. Pleased I know how to remove this. Thank you.
The player adds to the size you set in the Story Size setting. We use the chromeless player and then develop our own player elements, custom menu, etc, so our final size is very close to our Story Size.

Note: You'll need to add your own custom buttons, hotspots, or hyperlinks to each slide in your course to control navigation.

Hi Doug,
You can see what the player adds by reviewing the information here.
