Storyline Block - How to go full screen?
Hi All,
We are currently working on a short rise course that will have an interactive video element (added as a storyline block) but when outputting and previewing the course on my mobile it looks...
Hello, Íde! So sorry for the confusion, and you've asked some great questions.
-
If you are using Chrome as your browser on an Android device - SL Blocks in Rise will not work properly
- Storyline blocks will display correctly in Chrome on an Android device, but you will always see the URL address bar at the top. This means the slide will have to shrink a bit to fit below the address bar. You won't see that address bar on an iOS device, depending on the orientation.

If you are using SL and follow the instructions on creating content, the published product will not work properly in Rise, even though the SL blocks facility in Rise is supposed to accommodate this transition.
- Storyline slides will fill the screen on a mobile device (as much as possible) without stretching or skewing the slide content. If you see some gray space on the left and right side of the slides, you'll want to design the slide to be wider to fill that space.
- If Storyline were to stretch the slide to fill the screen, it would look like this. As you can see, the slide objects are very stretched and distorted. This is definitely not ideal!
I know it often helps to see things visually, so I've created a quick 3-minute video to explain how Storyline slides should appear on mobile devices.
