Embedding Vimeo video
When I use the embed code that I use for other platforms, Rise seems to ignore the settings of my code. for example, on my video, I remove logos and titles so the fact that Vimeo is the host melts seamlessly into the background. With Rise it not only creates a vimeo frame but ignores all the embed options that work in wordpress for example. Is this normal?

Hey, I'm trying to embed some videos hosted on Vimeo into a SL2 project and I've run into the fullscreen issue. I'll be publishing as SCORM and hosting on Moodle. Will the fix you're working on apply to my scenario and do you have an estimate on when this is likely to be rolled out? Thanks heaps!
Good Morning, Donna!
Since you're working in Storyline 2 and the other folks in this discussion are working in Rise, I'm going to submit a Support Case on your behalf. That'll allow us to take a closer look at this problem with you one-on-one. In brief, I suspect that Moodle is having trouble passing Vimeo's fullscreen attribute to their parent IFrame, but we can help you confirm that.
Please expect to hear from us soon regarding your Case # 990833. Thanks!
Hi all,
Just an update here - a fix was shipped to Rise to resolve the issues you were experiencing here where the iFrame embed code was not being respected. If you run into any other issues with that feel free to let us know here or reach out to our Support Engineers directly.
Hi Ashley,
I'm still having this issue in Storyline 2, should we expect an update which will resolve this? Are you aware of any video platforms where the full screen button works when embedding it into Storyline and uploading it to SCORM cloud for example? FYI - i currently use Vimeo but i'm open to any similar video platforms as long as the full screen button is available.
Thank you
Hi Lewis,
Thanks for checking in on this set up! When you embed videos from websites, such as YouTube and Vimeo, in Storyline 2 courses, you may find the fullscreen button for these videos is either missing or doesn't work in your published output. For security reasons, many web browsers are started restricting fullscreen mode for embedded iframe content.
We provided a programmatic solution for this issue in Update 10 for Storyline 2 (we're now on Update 11). Do you know which update of Storyline 2 you're using? You can easily check by going to the Help tab -> About Articulate Storyline. You'll see the update number listed there. We'd always recommend being on the latest update to have access to all the new features and fixes! You can download and install the latest version of Storyline 2 here and then you'll want to republish your courses to take advantage of those things. You mentioned SCORM Cloud, and some LMSs, such as SCORM Cloud, don't allow website videos to toggle into fullscreen mode.
When did you purchase Storyline 2? You may want to reach out to our Success team to talk about the options for upgrading! Articulate 360 has a lot more than just full screen videos in Rise! You can check out this comparison of Storyline 360 to Storyline 2 for some more information, and then take a look at all that you get with the Articulate 360 subscription!
Thanks for double-checking your version, Lewis.
Working around Vimeo's big change is a significant rewrite to the way we publish LMS output, and we just pushed out an Update 4 for Articulate 360 (including Storyline and Studio 360) to make that change, similar to what we did in Rise. Assuming that it's technically feasible, we'll also apply the update to Storyline 3 when it is released later this year. Our next update to Storyline 2 isn't scheduled yet, but once it is we'll evaluate the possibility of getting this new functionality there as well.
Hello, I'm having this happen in Rise today with YouTube - the embed code is telling it NOT to suggest videos at the end of the video (and I can see the right code in the settings for the embedded video block) but when I preview it is still showing them. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you :)
Hi Sharon,
What's the embed code or URL you're using and the additional parameter you're trying to use to stop the additional videos from being suggested? I know in Storyline, you could add ?rel=0 to the end of the URL (not the embed code) and that would stop the video suggestions so I gave that a try in Rise with the Video lesson type and the block type and those worked in this Rise course (who doesn't like a little Sesame Street in the morning!).
Let me know if you can share a URL or a link to your Rise course and I'm happy to give that a test as well.
Hi, Here is a screenshot of the code and I do have that sneaky ?rel=0 bit of code in.
Thanks Sharon - I was able to use your code and add it to the same Rise course before - it's the third video listed in there now. The full screen appears once I click to play the video - is this still not working for you? Can you test out the link to my course? Also what browser or device are you viewing the video on?
Interesting! The issue was that the Rise was not respecting the embed code to not show suggested videos at the end of the video and yours does not, but mine did but now I tested it and it works! Thanks :)
As long as it works, right Sharon? ;-) Glad you got it up and running, thanks for letting us know!
