Embedded video will not expand to full screen in LMS
Hi Bo! Thanks for including your zipped output file. I hosted your course on SCORM Cloud, an LMS testing tool, and the video fullscreen buttons worked well there.
Please use this link to open the course in SCORM Cloud, and let me know if the fullscreen buttons work for you, as well!
That was the "trouble shooting" step for our issue as well and didn't lead to any conclusions. Is there a specific config or guideline as to how to launch this within an LMS? Besides Publishing as SCORM 1.2 for LMS.
Many thanks!
I hate to say it, but I think it's pretty much up to the LMS developers to fix this issue. You'll have to get their attention, convince them it is really a flaw, and then convince them to put it on their "road map." You'll want to get a horde of other users to vote the issue up with you.
Here is how I described it to my LMS vendors (who, to their credit, fixed it for SCORM 2004 courses 4 years later) [2023 UPDATE: And fixed it in SCORM 1.2 last year, Go Cornerstone!] :
I have run into an issue where I have a course with an embedded video on a page that should have the capability to be shown full screen. However, clicking the button does not work. If I upload the course to a generic web server, the user can click the full screen button and it works without a hitch.
I think the problem is that online courses are displayed in an iframe by the LMS and that iframe does not have the allowfullscreen parameters included. All that needs to be fixed is to change this code below (in the page that launches online courses) from this:
<iframe id="activityFrame" title="Activity" frameborder="0" style="width:100%" src="/content/..."></iframe>to something like this
<iframe id="activityFrame" title="Activity" frameborder="0" style="width:100%" src="/content/..."allowfullscreenwebkitallowfullscreenmozallowfullscreen></iframe>
