Embedded video will not expand to full screen in LMS

Hi Fabio,

Were you able to test that same course outside your LMS, in an environment such as SCORM Cloud? Also, what browser(s) were you testing it in? 

SCORM Cloud doesn't have this issue, but other LMSs do (Cornerstone for example) and unfortunately we are at their mercy on whether they will ever fix this. My guess is that they view it as some kind of security issue. For now I just put this tip at the top of lesson pages where there are videos:

To make the videos larger you will need to increase the zoom of your browser window. Press [Ctrl] + [+] several times to make the video fill the browser window. To return to normal zoom, press [Ctrl] + [zero].

Hi everyone!  Just an update that we fixed an issue in Articulate Review where the fullscreen option wasn't being included for embedded videos in Storyline and Rise courses hosted in Review.

You don't have to do a thing, though!  The fix will apply to all of your Review content immediately.  Let us know how it works.  😀

Hi, i am also having same issue which the full screen is not working on LMS but works in local.  I knew the issue is with iframe element which is presented in the LMS environment. I have faced the same in Articulate 360, but i found a workaround and enabled it. but same thing I tried to add some external script to enable this in Rise, but couldn't. can you please help me to add some html in the exported package or any idea to communicate between parent to child iframe in LMS. 

Hi Pazhani,

You may also want to connect with your LMS Admin and see if they had suggestions on how to change the iFrame behavior. They're your best resource for resolving behavior in the LMS. 

Also, feel free to share your script here and perhaps someone in the community can spot what may need to be changed.

I am coming up against this issue also with some Vimeo videos.

Videos that are embedded in a Storyline experience which is then embedded within a Rise course lose their fullscreen functionality. There are several reasons for this, but I'll focus on the primary reason.

When an iframe including embedded video is contained within a parent iframe, the video will not play fullscreen even if it contains the fullscreen attributes UNLESS the parent iframe also contains fullscreen attributes. See here. Unfortunately, code of the parent iframe here is dictated by Rise.

The only solution I know of is to use jQuery to add these attributes once the page has loaded. Is there a possibility that the Articulate team could add these fullscreen attributes to Storyline experiences embedded in Rise courses?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

I noticed there hasn't been an update to viewing videos in full screen mode for a while, so I thought I'd post my experience from today to see if that would shed some light. I have videos in the process block and embedded videos into the labeled graphic block. The course is published to our LMS. In our testing we’ve discovered that the videos can be viewed in full screen mode using Safari and Chrome on an iPad and iPhone, and they cannot be viewed in full screen using either IE or Chrome on a Windows 7 or 10 computer. For our course we have ruled out that this is an LMS problem and it seems it is an operating system issue.

It is a browser issue. If it was an operating system issue then you wouldn't be able to fullscreen ANY embedded videos on Windows 7 or 10.

And by browser issue I mean that the browser is not letting the user make videos go fullscreen because the correct parameters haven't been included in the HTML to allow for it.

Wow, this issue has been ongoing for 2 years? In any case, published to SumTotal Learn LMS. Same issue, the video will not allow full screen play. Tried SCORM 2004 & 1.2. Tried allow seeking yes and no.
