full screen video button?
I'm also anxiously awaiting for a resolution to this. I'm not looking forward to the many hours of redoing my courses to fix this.
More information from Vimeo
It’s not looking good, folks. ☹
Hi Cathy,
Again, my sincere apologies for this inconvenience. To provide a brief overview of how this occurred:
1. In the past, fallback options in the browser allowed some version of fullscreen to operate even when within frames.
2. Within the last few weeks, updates to major browsers removed these fallback options. This caused the fullscreen button to fail when clicked. Vimeo videos would no longer enter fullscreen if they were placed within frames.
3. Because the button wouldn’t work anyway, in the last few days our developers have now removed the fullscreen button from any players that are embedded within frames. To confirm, the button would have been broken even if displayed. So, whether the button was there or not, your viewers would not be able to enter fullscreen.
So, like I said, no action you took caused this to occur. However, your site appears to have been created in such a way that will not allow full-screen Vimeo embeds.
I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer for you. Please write me back for any further questions.
