Full screen video content

Hi Ben, 

You could always set your slide size to match that of your video, and that would limit the amount of white space surrounding your video. You could also limit the player controls you've included, as that contributes to the added grey area around your video. 

That may not be "ideal" for all users if they're on different devices, screen sizes, and browsers but should get you as close to a full-screen view as possible. 

I support the option to have a full screen button.

The Flash video player was layered at the bottom of the video and faded out after a few seconds, like on YouTube. In addition, there was also a Download button.

Considering that embedded videos are often limited in space, to make them full screen would be the best way to view them, as mobile devices are more used than computers.

To add to this discussion, I just found out that if you make it so your video plays in a new browser window there is an option to go full screen. This should be added in the video controls!

I'm seeing that this question has two years and I'd like to know why until today the Storyline video player doesn't have something so simple like a fullscreen button on its player. Is this so difficult to implement? For the users, I think that would be something handy.

Hi Marcelo, 

It's not something we've added yet, but we'll let you know if that changes.  Here's a bit more about how we work to prioritize feature requests.

Hi Ashley, any news on adding Full Screen video playback yet? We predominantly use embedded video files in our Storyline projects and don't want to go the route of external embedding for a number of reasons, I know there are work arounds e.g. adding a full screen layer, but this is cumbersome in terms of project size - Lack of a Full Screen video playback option is is a seriously lacking feature in our opinion and I think may end up sadly forcing us away from Storyline.

Kind regards

Terry

Adding myself in as someone who would like more player controls, including a full screen option.

Use this widget to go in full screen and back using one-line javascript triggers https://cluelabs.com/full-screen-mode-elearning-widget.html For example, you can add a trigger to go full screen on timeline start on the slide with video, and then another trigger to exit full screen when media completes or timeline ends.

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.
