Make Mobile Screen Recording Look Smaller in Rise
Has anyone published an interactive mobile screen recording in Rise? I captured the mobile screen using a custom size of 267 W x 540 H using Storyline. It looks fine in Review 360, but it appears too large in Rise, even though I selected the small format.

Hi Ang!
Happy to share some insight on this!
In Review 360, you're seeing the course playback in a player environment that more closely matches the Storyline authoring size. However, in Rise, the responsive player expands the Storyline Block to fill the available width of different screens. As a result, the content appears larger even if you selected a smaller format initially. To workaround this expected behavior you can try:
- Modifying the Storyline Player settings: In Storyline 360 > Player Properties > Other, set the Player size to 'Lock player size', instead of 'Scale player to fill browser'.
- Using Videos instead of interactive Blocks: If your mobile recording doesn't require Storyline interactivity, Rise handles responsive Videos more predictably.
- Considering a different aspect ratio: Rise is optimized for wide screens (16:9) by default. Tall/narrow Storyline Slides may scale awkwardly. If possible, try recording at a slightly wider ratio such as 720x1280. This will allow you to keep a vertical format, while staying closer to what Rise expects.
Let me know how it goes!
Hello Steven, thank you for your insights. I wasn't aware of option 1. I tried locking the player size, but the result was a large player with small screens centered inside. Option 2 doesn’t work because it involves interactivity. After trying various methods, I ended up going with option 3.
