Video showing on full screen as a default

Permalink
I wish to build a site that will have a number of videos on a page. Is it possible, when a video is chosen to run, that the video player will go to full screen?

Is this possible and also any reason why it should not be done.

Also what is the best method of having video on a site, I don't fully understand the options.

Appreciate any assistance.

Hello,

The best and easier method of having video in a Concrete5 site is using the core YouTube Video block: you just put the page in edit mode and add this block to an editable area. You give it a title, an URL for a youtube video and you define width and height.

Regarding full screen videos, the core block has no option for auto-full-screen. There a cool add-on that uses video as a background:

You can also search "youtube" or "video" on the marketplace and see what you can find.

Good luck!

Many thanks for your response. My client wants the screen to go to max when the play button is clicked, I would have thought this could be done. I'll keep looking and post anything I find.

Maybe you should lookup the YouTube API documentation and see if there is an option to make a video go fullscreen. If so I'm pretty certain you can accomplish this as every time you start or stop a video the API fires an onStateChange event which can be used to call a custom function.

Here you can find the iFrame API reference:https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference...

There is also one for the Flash Player version. Don't have that in my clipboard right now but it should be easy to find.
