I can't see full screen video button on playbar after when I importy a movie? Is any way to resize video on full screen after interactiion? (and came back to small size)?

My previous idea won't work because of cross-domain issues. But the real fix, unsanctioned by Articulate I'm sure, is to add the last 3 lines below to the story.js file around line 640: // Create the iframe var oIFrame = document.createElement('iframe'); oIFrame.frameBorder = "0"; oIFrame.id = "div" + strId; oIFrame.style.border = "0"; oIFrame.style.width = "100%"; oIFrame.style.height = "100%"; oIFrame.allowtransparency = "true"; oIFrame.setAttribute('allowfullscreen', ""); oIFrame.setAttribute('webkitallowfullscreen', ""); oIFrame.setAttribute('mozallowfullscreen', "");

You could always just create a button saying full screen and just have it link to a layer with a full screen video on it.

Thanks Again, Ashley -- I did clear my signature (thanks!) and I uploaded one story file, with its output and scorm as well. In the event that this will help .... I did tell Vimeo all of that - in regards to the fact that many videos are suddenly changed without any provocation on my part....but as long as they are being added to a 3rd party desktop authoring solution -- they won't help. Thanks anyway ... if you happen to see anything in the files (that I re-attached to my previous post), let me know.... ~Cathy

Ashley, Yes, it works in html5 on an iPad, with the mobile app publishing option disabled. It is indeed the vimeo full screen button, as opposed to the iPad video controls that appear when opening videos embedded in articulate's player. So far, I've also opened the course through chrome on my desktop, and the full screen button is not present. I sent along these comments to Vimeo last night, and they confirmed my message had been forwarded to the appropriate parties. James

Hey Cathy, As much as I'd love to be able to to help, we won't be able to commit to a fix for this issue in the short term. We will evaluate and prioritize Vimeo's change according to its breadth and depth of impact on our customers and make a decision from there, and we'll keep this forum thread updated with any developments. In the interim, if you find a product or service that is handling Vimeo's update better than we are, we'd welcome that information as well. Good luck with your project!

Hi Damien,

What type of video are you using? If you're including a regular mp4 video you won't have the option for full screen, but if you've embedded the video as a web object (say a YouTube video) you could still access the video controls associated with where the video is hosted on the web.

Thanks!

But, is any chance of full screen option with imported mp4? In future?

  I am new to Articulate/Storyline, however as a Video Producer, would certainly like to add my voice to those who would like to see full-screen support for MP4s. Thank you.

Hi Damien,

It would be something you'd need to submit as a feature request. Alex's example is a great alternative too!

The lack of an option to make video full screen is one thing I think really holds Storyline back. At least by seeing the way kids use computers, the expectation with video has become that there WILL be some way to make a video full screen. The web object workaround is ok, but then you lose any control over the video with triggers, etc...

Why, for example, when you insert a YouTube video via the "Video from Website..." option, does it take this away? I mean, it is built in to the YouTube player isn't it?

Hello Will!

When you use the option to insert video from website, it is embedding the file into Storyline and it will be synchronized with the slide's timeline.You can add video controls, but the full screen option, unfortunately, is not available.

The way around this is as Ashley mentioned, to insert as web object, and have this open through YouTube directly. Then you will still have function from the original site. However, this will not allow for any triggers as you mentioned.

You can submit a feature request for the Full Screen option to be included.

Thanks - I submitted a request. Maybe you could add a feature to this forum to auto-add requests when people make them in the forum? I'll add a request for that too. ;-)

Hi Will,

That's definitely something we've thought of before - so another feature request for an easy way to send a feature request would be great!
