Going full screen
Another newbie question. I noticed in a lot of your showcase examples that they don't
really go full screen. Can Storyline adapt itself to go full screen and then back to limited
screen? Is there a 100% versus a 600 pixels kind of thing?
Thanks!

Excellent, Marco! Glad to hear you are all set and we always appreciate an update for others who may benefit! :)
Hi! I see these queries are from over 3 yrs ago! Well I'm very new to Storyline and have the same query. I want to make my story full screen, but it will be uploaded on the LMS. How do I do this?I am using 1024x769 currently but there's so much space around the story. I don't have a side menu either so the space around looks very empty! Suggestions/advice pls!
Hi Suneeta,
There isn't a true full screen option within Storyline - and so your course will fill the screen based on a few different factors such as your story size (in comparison to your screen size), what you set in regards to the player/browser settings, and any player elements added.
Here is my example for a Fullscreen Player. I used a Web Object and some javascript code that is on the master slide.
Thanks Russell.
I tried this but I seem to be getting an error " The custom javascript feature on this slide has been disabled when viewing locally as your browser does not support it".
I'm using IE 11.
Hi Lisa,
Storyline 360 (or previous versions) don't have a true full screen option. You could look at removing all the player elements but you'll still have some browser chrome to deal with as well. You may also be able to use the browser functionality to go full screen with the standard hotkeys/short cuts that allow each individual browser to go full screen too.
Hi, Is there any full screen option with Storyline 360?
Hello Lisa,
IE 11 security features are blocking the javascript from running it locally. Try uploading it to your webserver or LMS and try again.
Hi Ashley,
Following these settings (attached image) worked for a project. However it is not working for this project. Please could you help. Thank you
Hi Indrani!
Thanks for including those screenshots--that's super helpful! It looks like the aspect ratio of your Story Size is different than the aspect ratio of your browser.
When you start a new project in Storyline, it automatically defaults to 720 x 540 pixels, which means a 4:3 aspect ratio. For this project, you'll want to use a widescreen aspect ratio like 16:9, and you'll have two options:
- Scale To Fit: This scales the slide content to fit proportionately within the new size. Objects that have locked aspect ratios will maintain their ratios. Objects that don't have locked aspect ratios may change shape, depending on the story size you choose. (Learn more about locking aspect ratios.)
- Fill Background: This keeps the current slide background and applies it to the new size, but it doesn't resize your slide content. If you choose this option, use the corresponding Story Position drop-down to choose where existing content should appear on your slides.
Once you change the aspect ratio, republish the file. Let me know if you see an improvement!
Hi All,
I have some great news to share! We just released a really cool feature that allows you to add a player toggle to let learners view courses in full-screen mode.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find step-by-step instructions here.
