Full-screen option for embedded Vimeo videos not working
Kia ora,
Reaching out as our team has noticed an issue with Vimeo videos embedded in our Rise and Storyline courses losing the functionality to expand to full-screen mode. The option will be activated in the Vimeo settings and will be visible when we test the course during the review stage, but as soon as the video is uploaded to the LMS, the option disappears from the Vimeo settings.
This is a significant accessibility issue for our learners, who often complete our modules in groups and need to be able to expand videos on the screen.
We noticed that this issue has been raised in a number of threads over the years, and there were some comments suggesting it might be an LMS issue. Any insight or advice on how this can be navigated on the LMS side would be appreciated—we use SumTotal.
We also wanted to raise this as something that would be great if Articulate could resolve on their end or address to fix this functionality.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Sara,
This is not an Articulate issue, but rather a SumTotal one. We are experienced the same behavior and it seems that is comes down to the SCORM files and how SumTotal behaves. Using xAPI files should solve the issue. When using SumTotal as your LMS I recommend to switching to xAPI, as SCORM has not the same functionality in SumTotal.
Best,
Dominik

Dominikif video is embeded in a webpage with iframes, all iframes in the in the hierarchy has to allow "special" features like "autoplay" or "fullscreen"
if one or more iframes in the hierarchy looks like
<iframe src=" ... "></iframe>fullscreen is not possible
=> vimeo detact this missing feature and removes the not working fullscreen button - this is the correct response to the missing feature
the iframes in all hierarchies have to look like
<iframe src=" ... " allow="autoplay; fullscreen;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>=> if SumTotal uses an iframe to embed your course, check this iframe
We also use Vimeo videos in our Rise courses, and the full-screen option for embedded Vimeo videos function correctly in our LMS (not SumTotal).
