Embedded video will not expand to full screen in LMS
when trying to make the embedded replay video (made in replay) full screen by pressing [] on the video bar in Rise, it does not work once uploaded into LMS.

Hi Will,
One last question, and it may be a silly one. Does the fact that this is an MP4 that has been uploaded and not an embedded link make any difference?
Thanks again!
I don't think it will make a difference. But to be 100% sure it might be worth testing. The reason I don't think it makes a difference is that in both cases the content is embedded in a player. Even if you upload the MP4, it needs an embedded player to show on the page.
Here is how I think it works:
- Your LMS launches the page that contains your course in a parent iframe.
- You navigate to a page in your Rise course that contains an enbedded video player
- A smart video player begins loading on the page, discovers it is in a parent iframe, checks to see if all the iframes it is inside allow for full screen, and if so enables the fullscreen button.
- A dumb video player just shows the fullscreen button regardless. Then when the user clicks on it, the browser checks to see if the iframe(s) it is in allow full screen and complies with the request or vetos the request if an iframe doesn't explicitly allow it.
