Using a web object to embed a Vimeo video, will not display maximize button on LMS or Scromcloud

I've used a web object to embed a vimeo video in a Captivate 9 project. When published and uploaded to scromcloud, the video plays as it should, but does not have the "maximize" button that normally appears on vimeo videos. Is there a setting in captivate that I might not be aware of that's preventing the maximize option from appearing?

    This also seems to be browser specific. I insert html5 video as html5 animations which get put into if tamed, full screen works in I.E., but not Chrome. Chrome does not render the full screen button when using frames. A workaround would be to use a pop up with the video in straight html.

    Thank-you for your suggestion.  We will try the workaround, however, we likely have far too many affected SCORM files in our library to implement a time-consuming workaround to solve one irritating problem on just Chrome Android (and knowing that Google, Vimeo or Adobe might solve the problem, or create others, in the normal course of development).

    I seem to be suffering the same problem with Vimeo now.   My initial research led me to write the internal email below to our tech team.

    You may also want to check out this Adobe thread:  How do you embed a Vimeo video stream in a Captivate 9 slide?

    Internal email:

    The Android/Chrome/Vimeo problem was caused by a Vimeo upgrade in late 2015, it seems.

    In general, it seems that, in some cases, the Articulate and Captivate iframe code is inconsistent with the Vimeo embed code, and the iframe code takes precedence in certain Chrome/Android devices due to the iframe code override.

    The Articulate thread is here:

    There also seems to be a relevant thread at:  https://vimeo.com/forums/feature_requests/topic:278001

    Mike Heavers seems to be the guy who understands this well.  His code is below:

    <!--this will include the vimeo api-->
    <script src="https://f.vimeocdn.com/js/froogaloop2.min.js"></script>

    <!--this will add your video - make sure to replace the video ID with your own. The api1 turns on the api, the autoplay=0 turns off the autoplay, and the loop=0 stops the loop--> <iframe id="projectplayer" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/148894857?api=1&background=1&autoplay=0&loop=0"></iframe>  <script> iframe = $('#projectplayer')[0]; //if you give your player a different ID, change it here player = $f(iframe); player.api('setVolume',1); //this will unmute the video </script>
