I want to know about the best practices of setting a course dimension in Storyline. I want the set size to make the course appear fit in the browser of both laptop and mobile devices. Recently, I created a course in Storyline with the Story size 780 X 540. It appeared well and fit on my laptop but when I viewed it on a Samsung tablet then major portion of it was falling outside the screen. What should I do to make the course convenient and working for every device.
I would ensure you set the player to scale, as Android devices are not officially supported it may be because of that. There is however known issues with placement on tablets in LMS's
Other products like iSpring Presenter 7, Captivate and Lectora are providing perfect outputs fitting automatically in every device. Why is this not the case with Articulate..? Most people these days are using Android tablets and mobile phones. I am not using any LMS, I am only hosting my course on Google Drive.
As Phil mentioned, we don't officially support Android, although you'll find users discussing how to play courses on Android devices here in the forums. Click hereto review the system requirements for authoring and viewing Storyline content.

Under player settings choose the "Other" button and set to scale.
Storyline does not at this moment support any tablets except those running iOS (although Windows and Windows RT tablets will work fine).

In regards to the player browser settings, there is also a great tutorial here on how to change those settings.
Thanks a lot Phil and Ashley.
The suggestions you provided worked for me..
