Full screen video content

Hi there Thomas!

Have you inserted the video as an MP4 file? There isn't a full screen button as a part of the Storyline video controls or within the Storyline player itself. If you want the embedded video to play full-screen within the Storyline player, you'll want to adjust the Player Properties to 'Resize browser to fill screen' and 'Scale player to fill browser window'.

Another option is to insert the video as a Web Object (for example from YouTube or Vimeo). That would allow you to us the normal video controls, which often include full screen viewing. If you insert the video as a Web Object and you don't see the full screen button, it could be because the web browser is restricting fullscreen mode for embedded iframe content.

Hi Alyssa,

UIsually, yes; it is an mp4.

Hmm...thanks for the suggestions. I will give them a try.

Thanks

Sounds good Thomas. Keep me posted!

Having a full screen option without having to use web objects or slide layers would being a great addition, surely someone must have requested it by now?

Hi Terry,

You got it. It has been requested.

I'll add this thread to the report as we track user impact.

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful. 

Hi,

I recently tried embedding a YouTube video into my course and it seems to work nicely ... except for the full screen feature on YouTube's player. It works when playing locally but not on my LMS. When I click the grayed full screen button on the YouTube player, it says "Full screen is unavailable".

Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I'm totally confused why there is no fullscreen button like every player out there for video.  I'm talking about video control inside the player.  the player is already set to fill screen and browser but the video is on screen with text.

So does one have to build a custom control bar for the video where the fullscreen would be a motion path or grow to get the video to seem larger onclick?

Hi Ed,

How did you add your YouTube video to your course? 

Hi Doug,

Take a look at this documentation to understand all of the parameters you have available in adding YouTube videos.

My sample published here allows me to view the video full screen.

I apologize Doug. 

We like to keep threads open and continue the conversation however users need, but it can get confusing.

To get back to the original question, we do have this thread added to a feature request for the functionality with video files directly added to the course. The latter, YouTube, came up as possible workarounds in the meantime.

Hi Dan,

The preview in Storyline will be restricted based on the Storyline interface, so yes, I'd look at publishing and test in your publish environment. If you're not ready to upload to your LMS, take a look at using SCORM Cloud.
