Vertical videos 9:16 in Rise

Hi all, is there a way to make Rise display vertical videos (16:9) correctly when viewed on a mobile device? More and more content is being recorded in portrait mode on mobile phones by the contributors of the the courses, but vertical videos in Rise appear small in a wide horizontal player when viewed on a mobile device in portrait mode.

If not, are there any plans to support this format of video (a vertical player perhaps rather than just a horizontal player)? It appears to be increasingly popular these days with social media and more people viewing content on their mobile devices.

    Hi there, Johnny. The video player should allow your learners to view the video in full screen using this icon:

    I would add a note for your learners to use the full screen option either in the video block caption or in a text block right above the video. We don't have plans to change the video player for now, but we'll keep our eyes on this trend!
