Video platforms with full screen availability when embedded?

Hi,

As many of you are aware full screen functionality disappears when you embed a video from sites such as Vimeo into Storyline 2 and upload it to your LMS, SCORM cloud or other platforms. This issue was fixed when you published the course and viewed it through Storyline as opposed to through an LMS with update 10 and has recently been fixed in Rise (see discussion) but we haven't been told when the fix will be available for Storyline 2.

I've seen quite a few discussions on this matter and i wondered, does anyone know of any video platforms where the full screen button doesn't disappear when embedding video after uploading it to an LMS? I think knowing this could help a lot of people embedding video.

 

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Lewis,

You can try to add a custom button for the fullscreen and add this Javascript code below.

function requestFullScreen(element) {
// Supports most browsers and their versions.
var requestMethod = element.requestFullScreen || element.webkitRequestFullScreen || element.mozRequestFullScreen || element.msRequestFullScreen;

if (requestMethod) { // Native full screen.
requestMethod.call(element);
} else if (typeof window.ActiveXObject !== "undefined") { // Older IE.
var wscript = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
if (wscript !== null) {
wscript.SendKeys("{F11}");
}
}
}

var elem = document.body; // Make the body go full screen.
requestFullScreen(elem);
