New fullscreen mode - new errors

after a short test, I have found errors/limitations of the new fullscreen mode from storyline 3.67

a minimal example for testing (from another bug):

https://360.articulate.com/review/content/db2ca65a-d50f-40ca-9bea-5f7923b49ab5/review

(1) storyline fullscreen mode is incompatible with F11 fullscreen mode of Chrome / Edge (please check it on youtube how this works well)

  • start the slide
  • press F11
  • press storyline fullscreen (video or course)
  • press F11 again
  • the both storyline fullscreen buttons are dead forever (until restart the course)
  • no problems with F11 on Firefox (Safari not tested)

 

(2) video fullscreen clickable, but sometimes without function

  • start the slide
  • press fullscreen on interface
  • press fullscreen on video -> nothing happens

  • Hello Jürgen,

    I appreciate you taking the time to share your findings when using the new full-screen toggle.

    1. Browser full-screen functionality is separate from the feature we've released for Storyline 360 and works independently and differently for each browser.

      The Storyline 360 full-screen toggle feature is specific to our player frame, variable, and our specific keyboard shortcut, which is Ctrl+Alt+F.
    2. When viewing a course in full-screen mode, the video full-screen button won't work. The full-screen command only works on one item at a time.

      We have a feature request submitted to allow both the player and video to display full-screen. I've added you to this request so we can share any updates with you here.

      Come on... stating that your fullscreen mode works different then the defaults that are existing for years and years in browsers and videoplayers and thus they wont work together... as that is what i read aint good. It should be compatible from scratch.

  • please fix the errors and test your new features before release - the F11 mode is in every browser since many years

    Update: there was F11 fullscreen mode in Firefox 3.6 (January 2010)

    Update 2: and Firefox 2.0 (October 24, 2006)
