vimeo files won't go full screen when embedded

I'm using the embed code that Vimeo gave me for embedding. I have the 'full screen' option turned on in Vimeo and the icon shows up in the player. If I play the video from the Vimeo website it will go fullscreen, but when I try to make it full screen from within the published Captivate project it doesn't do anything.

I've tried the embed code with both the default '... webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen> ' and just with the single 'allowfullscreen'. Neither makes it go full screen. Any ideas?

I'm using Captivate 8.0.1

It's likely after 10 years you have this sorted, although in 2025 I'm having the same issue. Seems niggly that some embedded vids have full-screen allowed automatically while others haven't. I pasted allowfullscreen after the frameborder command and it's worked a charm.

Generally a video won't go fullscreen when paced in an iFrame or running in an LMS with the course running in a frameset.

There are hacks available with mixed results.

That's unfortunate.

Thanks for your reply.
