I am using Storyline blocks in a Rise course, and I was wondering if it's somehow possible to have the option to maximize the block, like if it were a Youtube video. I know you can choose the size of the block when editing, but I would like the video to be in small size and give the user the possibility to make it full screen.
For now, you have the option to set the size of the Storyline block to Small, Medium, or Full Width. It sounds like you'd also like to see an option that allows users to click the block and view the content fullscreen. That's a neat idea, and it would make an excellent feature request! I'll pass that idea along to my team for you. 🌟
I see there are three settings of the Storyline block in Rise, small, medium and large. Is there a way to change the color of the background of the block or is there a way to decrease the height of the block?
If the answer is no to both of these, can you tell me in pixels, what are the height measurements of those three existing options?
What size do you need to make your storyline project to add as a block in Rise? With the default size, I'm getting black bars on either size of my imported storyline block...
I did know how to change the surrounding color but I mean the block color itself. Or, can you tell me the pixel height of the Storyline block so I can make my Storyline file fit it exactly so that I can get rid of the black at the top and bottom. Please see attached.
Thanks for that screenshot, LaVon! That helped me to better understand what you're seeing.
The dark gray area around the slide is the Modern Player. The player will display as either dark gray or white, depending on the theme you choose.
While there isn't a way to make the player disappear completely, our team is looking at how we can improve this so that the slide sits seamlessly inside the Rise blocks lesson.
That explains it. I will try the white and change the background in Rise to white. I just thought they would have a height pixel measurement I could use for now. Thanks.
My problem with Storyline block in Rise, is that on a phone, it acts like a movie and opens the block in another browser window. Then I have to close the browser window and when it returns to Rise, the lesson goes back to the top of the lesson and you have to scroll down to find where you were when you played the Storyline block. Is there a way to change this?
Plus, while on a desktop the Storyline block is the same size as the other blocks (text size) but on a phone it is too tiny to read.
Thanks Allison. I did end up finding a discussion thread that said that my problem was a glitch in Rise when you use the modern player and a Storyline block. SO I changed to the classic player and it works fine now.
Hi Erica! You can choose to display the Storyline Block in full width, but there isn't a fullscreen button to expand the content to fill the browser window.

Thanks a lot!
I would love to see this feature added too!
+1 for this feature request!

Hi Lavon,
Yes, you can absolutely change the background color of a Storyline Block. Here's how:
Hello, CACI International!
Our team is carefully looking at what changes can be made to make Storyline slides appear more seamless in Rise.
If you have a white background, I would suggest switching to the Light color theme. That way, the bars will blend in with the block background.
I did know how to change the surrounding color but I mean the block color itself. Or, can you tell me the pixel height of the Storyline block so I can make my Storyline file fit it exactly so that I can get rid of the black at the top and bottom. Please see attached.

We'll keep you posted on our progress!

Hi Ruth,
I’m sorry you’ve hit a snag.
I think it's probably best if you reach out to our support team directly, so they can help you get to the bottom of what's going on here.
In the meantime, let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!
Thanks Allison. I did end up finding a discussion thread that said that my problem was a glitch in Rise when you use the modern player and a Storyline block. SO I changed to the classic player and it works fine now.
Great! I'm glad you were able to find a solution. :)
Its been two years. Any update on adding the feature to maximize storyline content to full screen?
