Full Screen Viewing

I was wondering if the videos can play full screen?  I don't see any button or option to click to play full screen, but I notice in the embed code the "allowFullScreen" is set to TRUE. So I figured that allow someone to click a button and it would open full screen.  Any thoughts?

Hi Anthony,

Try hitting the F key when you're watching a WellcomeMat video.

That also works in Youtube, FYI...  I sent that question to support because a client asked about it.  Client didn't like it, but it wasn't a big deal for them at this point.

 Thanks Nick!  That does work BUT how is the average person going to know to hit the "F" key?  I agree with Dustin, the client that asked me about this is NOT going to be happy with that answer.  There really should be an obvious button on the player.

Thanks all! So the full-screen icon was removed from our player about two updates ago. Because we have chaptering, mapping etc to work into our player, the challenge for us is to make sure that our player does not get too busy. In short, too much functionality is never the goal and isolation of the functionality that is most important is.

As a result, we removed the full-screen icon. We have since found ways to make it work and plan to implement in the coming months. But, when we removed it, it seemed like a no-brainer. The player was getting a little over-stimulating.

Actually, Christian, I am glad to see the Full screen button removed. I think the quality is very poor at full screen and it does all of our hard work an injustice. I also noticed that it also can become distorted depending on whetjer you have a wide screen monitor or not.

Why isn't the pop up MLS player the full width/height of the popup? - That bugs me a bit.  It doesn't go to the full width of the popup window.

  Just posted the same thread, essentially. I don't see what the point of chaptering is.  A good video should flow and if  done correctly the viewer should have no need for any type of chaptering.  If you're worried about over stimulation, I would drop out the chaptering before a full screen option, or you could do as companies like smugmug do and have an autosize feature that reportedly senses the viewers watching capabilities and sizes accordingly.  

 Another way to easily solve the problem of a player that is "over-stimulating" is to have the player controls auto hide when the mouse is moved away from the player.  

 Or have it auto-hide after the player has rolled for a few seconds.  

Another thing that would be nice would be a way to edit posts, so one doesn't have to keep posting.
