Why is the functional part of the Modern player so very small?
HI
I'm using the modern player but i'm finding no matter what screen its viewed on there is a whole lot of wasted black border space round the outside of the screen . Is there a way to maximise this? Is there some settings that I'm missing? Its frustrating to have a large amount of wasted screen and a tiny part that is relevant to the learner just in a very small central area.

Hi Hayley!
We'd love to help!
Which Story Size are you using with the Modern Player?
Here's 720x540 (4:3):
Here's 720x405 (16:9):
You can eliminate the extra space by removing different controls on the Player, such as the Menu, Resources, Volume, Navigation button etc.
Hello, I am facing the same question from a client who wonders why there has to be so much wasted space around the actual learning content. As you can see from the attached files I have removed all extra controls except for the menu… Which we need. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you very much.
Hi, Lon.
Thank you for reaching out!
Take a look at this article that describes which elements add to the overall size of the Modern Player:
On desktop computers, the player adds up to 260 pixels to the width and up to 118 pixels to the height, depending on the player features you select.
