Full screen video content
Hi everyone,
I was wondering about having the option/capability to watch a video on full screen.
For example: place a video file into the presentation, and while watching it, have the option to play at full screen.
Is this an function to switch on prior to publishing, or is this something related to the actual video file itself? On a previous platform, the user was able to play the same video files in full screen.
Thanks
Since I see that this was submitted as a feature request two years ago, wondering if there's been any progress. I need to embed a screen recording into a presentation and it's pretty close to unreadable when it's within the player. Any progress on being able to maximize the screen size? (Putting the screen record into YouTube is probably not practical.) Thanks.
Hello Laura and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for reaching out and sharing that this is a feature that you would like to see implemented as well.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
This one is still on our radar.
Hi, Looks like this feature request was originally submitted 3 years ago so I wanted to see if there had been any updates made. This feature is the the top requested from my students and teachers.
It does seem ludicrus that 3 years on they still havn't done this as a nice an easy option within storyline - it's pretty much the only feature request that I have wanted.
It would even be nice for someone to say why they havn't done it yet, or what the problems are that they can't overcome. #frustrated
Hi All,
It's been a while since we shared an update in this discussion, so I'd love to check-in.
First, thank you for sharing your experiences. We're committed to making Articulate 360 the best possible product for everyone — here's what we're working on right now:
A fullscreen toggle feature isn't in our immediate roadmap, but we are continuing to carefully review each request, comment, and reply.
Given the latest conversation, we will revisit its value and impact. That's one of many steps in our process, but I hope it reaffirms that we're listening.
If there's anything else we can do, we're happy to help!
Hi everyone,
I am making Videos for technical drawing and a full screen mode is something that I am definetly missing. This problem is solved when opening the videos in a new browser windows, but then they will get public for download.
Best regards!
We don't use Storyline at all for video for this reason. It's a shame, really - to have to separate video content from Storyline content, else mosey back to Craptivate.... The option to size a video to full-screen should be a given.
Chiming in here. A simple full-screen button on the video player would be so, so, so helpful. I hope this is prioritized. Thanks!
Nora - it's actually a glaring omission in this day and age. It's the only feature I would like - if they just did one feature this year - please do this! This thread is now four years old and since I last posted two years ago my beard has turned grey...I just wish articulate could be honest and say why they haven't done it. We are actually going to be looking for alternative elearning creation software because of this :(
Two years ago, I posted on this thread, and someone from the support said something like they will analyze. At that time, the thread was two years. Two years go by, and they did nothing. As a result, I had to give up using this amazing tool because they can't find a solution for a relatively simple problem in four years.
+1 from me, would be really helpful to have a full screen option.
