If your embedded video is missing the fullscreen button in the Player, your embed code is likely missing these three required fullscreen attributes: webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen
Our embed code includes these attributes by default, but if you have modified the embed code, or used another service to generate the embed code, it's possible these attributes are missing. An example of how the Vimeo embed code should appear is shown in the code block below.
NOTE: If the Vimeo iframe embed code is placed within another iframe, that parent iframe must also include the same fullscreen attributes.
Once these fullscreen attributes are included, the Player will display the fullscreen button again.
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/137003356" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm embedding one of my Vimeo videos into one of my pages which is then embedded in an iframe inside another site. The issue I'm having is that the fullscreen function doesn't work.
And here are some of the errors I'm getting in the console when I click on the fullscreen button in the video player.
'HTMLVideoElement.webkitSupportsFullscreen' is deprecated. Its value is true if the video is loaded.
player.js:21
'HTMLVideoElement.webkitEnterFullscreen()' is deprecated. Please use 'Element.requestFullscreen()' instead.
player.js:21
requestFullscreen() is deprecated on insecure origins, and support will be removed in the future. You should consider switching your application to a secure origin, such as HTTPS. See goo.gl/rStTGz
These errors seem to be coming from Vimeo's player.js
f.vimeocdn.com/p/2.9.10/js/player.js
What's going on and how can I correct this? Thanks.

Hi.
Same problem, Sometimes fullscreen works and sometimes not.
I got quite a few complaints from my audiance. I told them to zoom in, but it's a temporary solution.
Riley Hooper Alum
Can you please link us to the embedded video in question?
Everblue PRO
Same here, customers have notified us of issues with the 'fullscreen' button not working. We've identified that on Chrome is absolutely won't work, but the other browsers seem to be hit or miss. Our link is also behind a paid site, I'd be happy to give someone at Vimeo access to it, if it helps identify the issue.

Same issue here!!!
Trading PRO
Here is the problem and I suspect many other users have the same setup. We have a members area too that is behind a pay wall. And we load up the video from within another window. When we do this (which uses to work until a day or two ago ... ) the full screen breaks. If we load up the player in it's OWN window the full screen works.
Clearly something has changed in the last day or two to effect this and i imagine it's for people who embed video within other windows.
Appreciate an update.

Perfecto Mobile PRO
Hi All.
I am having the same issue. My embed code does include allowfullscreen .
In IE -- it works fine.
In Chrome -- the 'full size' icon is there - but does not respond when clicked.
in Firefox - the 'full size' icon is missing - so you can't do anything at all.
Any suggestions? I too use these videos in an LMS environment and have over 50 lessons that would need to be modified and republished, which is not a possibility.
Any update?
We don't want users to open another window (outside of the course) to view the video.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am also gettin the same issue with a site that I use regularly and videos from here is very important to show in full screen. I have copy pasted the embed code provided but when i check the code again via the websites html editor to see if it has saved; It seems to have been changed automatically to something else like this;
iframe width="589" height="330" src="player.vimeo.com/video/144862774" frameborder="0"
which is missing all the extra code from the original
How do i go around this issue? Many thanks
Amy Horton Staff
Hi there! Unfortunately, it sounds like your website's HTML editor is automatically altering the code on your end, which we have no control over. I'd recommend reaching out to a web developer for further assistance regarding this matter.
VoiceActing, LLC PRO
I have the same issue. Videos are NOT protected and all play full screen in Firefox and IE, but NOT in Chrome. The "allowfullscreen" attribute is in the code. Up to recently, the fullscreen icon did work, which makes me think this is a Chrome issue.
An interesting discovery: Many of my sites are subdomains of my primary URL. Connecting to a subdomain site via its URL [Domain.com] (which is a re-direct to the subdomain location) my Vimeo videos will NOT play full screen. However, using the full path to the subdomain (ie Domain.com/subdomain or Subdomain.Domain.com) the Vimeo full screen icon WILL work. Not sure why this would make a difference in Chrome, but it appears to.
Not a useful fix, but it might be of some value to those troubleshooting this problem.

Hi there,
Same issue. Until today, it was only happening with Chrome and the icon was there but didn't work.
Since today, it is happening in both Chrome and IE.
Embed code includes the allowfullscreen attribute.
The full screen icon doesn't even appear now for both browsers.
Could someone please give us some indication on when is this going to be resolved?
The site has been working for months and the embed codes haven't changed, so it's obviously coming from your end.

We have customers reporting the exact same issue with their Vimeo embeds. I've tried everything I can think of to get it working on our end including directly injecting the embed code into the database, but the #player div still has the .no-fullscreen-support class which causes the .fullscreen button to be hidden because of this CSS rule:
.player.no-fullscreen-support .fullscreen {
display: none !important;
}
Something seems wrong with the embed code's ability to detect fullscreen support.
Tommy Penner Staff
Can you provide an example so we can investigate? What browsers are you testing with?
Adam Sentz
It's not trivial to set up an example for you to test. It seems likely that some change made a few weeks ago is causing false positives in the embed code no-fullscreen-support detection script. Customers report that videos where fullscreen buttons used to show no longer show. We haven't changed anything, the content hasn't changed, and nothing is missing from the embed code.
If it helps the embeds are inside an iframe where users can add/edit HTML content in a https web application. I have tested in current versions of Chrome, Safari and Firefox in OS X 10.11.
Tommy Penner Staff
Does the parent iframe have the same fullscreen attributes as the embed player? If not, add those to the iframe; this should re-enable fullscreen support.
Adam Sentz
This worked. Thanks!

Hi, my fullscreen isn't working on vimeo. The video won't resize. Not an embeded video elsewhere but on the vimeo itself and it only does so when i go to the page of the video. On my video feed it resizes, just not on the video page. This started with your display update I think.

Also fullscreen used to work on Safari but now it's not.

It's the same issue on their end that other users have reported - they need to add the fullscreen attributes back into the embed code.

Championship Systems PRO
Tommy,
I have hundreds of videos embedded over multiple sites that have always had full screen capability until recently.... 1st of all, what changed?
And 2nd...are you implying that I need to go back and change every embed code manually?
Tommy Penner Staff
If the fullscreen attributes were missing, the fullscreen button didn't work at all. We made a change so that the button is hidden if those attributes are not present; no sense in showing a button that does not work.
If you put the embed in manually, then yes you'll need to add those attributes back in manually. If your CMS is generating embeds without the fullscreen attributes, you'll need to contact the developer of your CMS to ensure that they're generating proper Vimeo embeds.
Training PRO
A lot of my videos were put in as Web Objects, without the full embed code, but the fullscreen button was always there and it always worked.
However, even when I went back now to add the full embed code with fullscreen coding, the button still isn't there.

Hi all. I have discover this problem yesterday. I have a private blog on the plateform Ning.com for my family where I put embedded video (in hiddend mode on vimeo). With the new vimeo code my ning blog don't want to use "webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen" and finaly the code is juste : . You can contact me if you want verify my blog of something else. I want a solution to see movies in fullscreen.

Currently the only solution for me is to use old embedded code. In this case it's possible to use full screen mode. Maybe ning.com don't support the new vimeo code.

This unfortunately is not an issue on our end, i'd suggest contacting Ning and tell them not to break our embed code.

I'm a filmmaker not a programmer. I hired someone to build my site and it was working fine with Vimeo and the wordpress backend.

Vimeo clearly changed something in their coding and its affecting everyone. Please just admit that it's on your end and you're able to get it resolved. This is going to take me several days to fix all of our videos.

Yes, I saw Tommy's reply -- my site is on the google.site and same problem. I have all three of Tommy's attributes and the problem still persists. Then I try to change the code -- and the issue still pops up. I agree with everyone that this is very frustrating. It shows on iOS devices. The play bar doesn't even show up on the androids. But the main issue is the fullscreen option is not available. Doesn't seem to matter if it's on google chrome or safari.

Google sites strips out those attributes. You'd need to contact their developers about it so that they no longer strip those out. They are needed for the player to work.

I´m having the same problem. The full screen button disappeared from all my videos wich were embebbed in my web page. I didn't change anything to my site. When I paste again the code, i can see that the part with "webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen" is deleted afterwards.
My page is a virtual platform for workshops and did´t give me any problem.
Please contact me for the some solution.
Mark Staff
You'd need to contact your CMS and make them aware of the issue so they can stop stripping out important attributes from our embed code.
Training PRO
So here is a response from Vimeo from another forum.
1. In the past, fallback options in the browser allowed some version of fullscreen to operate even when within frames.
2. Within the last few weeks, updates to major browsers removed these fallback options. This caused the fullscreen button to fail when clicked. Vimeo videos would no longer enter fullscreen if they were placed within frames.
3. Because the button wouldn’t work anyway, in the last few days our developers have now removed the fullscreen button from any players that are embedded within frames. To confirm, the button would have been broken even if displayed. So, whether the button was there or not, your viewers would not be able to enter fullscreen.
Mark Staff
This is correct

It appears that Vimeo might not be able to fix this since it's a browser issue.

It's not Browser issue it's because of the Deprecated API's used in Vimeo. If Vimeo provides Standardized API's then this can be fixed. Developers from Vimeo should work on this to fix the issue. Please do this as early as possible. Also I request Vimeo support team to reply for our emails

webkitallowfullscreenandmozallowfullscreenare included in theiframeembed code for compatibility with legacy browsers and browsers that have not been updated to their latest versions. If you're using an up-to-date browser,allowfullscreenis detected, and the legacy attributes are safely ignored.Sperry - Wren Plus
Tommy, the solution up top does not work, so pull it down. Why leave it there? I'm likely one the least qualified to venture an opinion here, but it seems odd that all the major browsers would upgrade at once. If this is a widespread problem, then it needs to be sourced and fixed. Has anyone been successful?
Tommy Penner Staff
Can you link to your page where the fullscreen button isn't showing up?
It's not so much that all major browsers updated at once, rather they have all been updating incrementally over the past few months, breaking the fullscreen button. The "all at once" part is because we changed the Player to not show the fullscreen button when we know it's not going to work.

Will do. It was created in JustinMind, a prototyping application so I will need to get to this some time this evening. Thanks for looking in on it.

Sounds good, let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi,
I am unable to add the fullscreen option to my video. At first it worked just fine, but after a few days the option for fullscreen disappeared. The video is not embedded. It's a Wordpress site with the option to add a Vimeo video through "fusion builder".
View screenshot of Wordpress back panel here:

That "fusion builder" has stripped out the fullscreen attributes. I'd suggest contacting whomever developed it and make them aware that it's breaking the embeds.

Can anyone clarify where this problem lies? So far Vimeo are saying it's nothing to do with them, others are blaming Vimeo API's etc. It would be really good to clarify what needs to be done to put this right. I have probably 10+ vimeo pro accounts all relying heavily on video embedding and now all of them won't display the fullscreen button through Articulate Storyline. They are adamant this is a Vimeo issue and say they have already contacted with relevant proof of this?

Further clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

But isn't this an issue with the parent/child iframes where this code is being ignored once the parent is holding it? At the minute if i look at the html file articulate generates on export it has all of this included (the embed code you are referring too) so i'm still not sure why this is being ignored?
Tommy Penner Staff
If you put the Vimeo embed code within an
iframe, the parentiframemust also have the same fullscreen attributes to allow any of theiframe's contents to go fullscreen. If the parentiframedoes not have those attributes, the Player will not display the fullscreen button because the button would not work.This appears to be what is happening with the embed on your site, see my screenshot below.

Hi Tommy, thanks for the update and link to the screenshot. So to be clear, is this something that needs to be rectified with Articulate Storyline support? Just seems weird this is happening for more than just people with my problem using this software? Are you suggesting that the Articulate export isn't generating the code it needs for the parent iframe? either way, i still don't understand why this has gone from something that worked brilliantly to not at all?
Tommy Penner Staff
It wasn't working brilliantly.
Over the past few months, browsers have been updating to disallow fullscreen video when those fullscreen attributes are missing. This left the Vimeo Player with a fullscreen button that did not function if a user or a service did not include those attributes. We recently updated the Player to hide the fullscreen button if the attributes were missing (which, again, would have rendered that fullscreen button useless).
You will need to contact Articulate Storyline and let them know that the parent iframe that wraps the Vimeo embed also needs those attributes for our Player, or any other content that they wrap their iframe around, to go fullscreen.
