Video Player in Landing Page Expanding When Clicked On

[Anonymous]

I am working on a landing page that includes a video. I would love the video to take over the screen if anyone clicked on the play button. Does anyone know if that is possible?

You can try using jquery to achieve this as described here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8016021/programmatically-put-google-chrome-into-full-screen-mode-....  Your mileage may vary depending on the browser being used

Kelly,

Another great way to do this is with lightbox it's clean and neat....Here's an example site you can use for guidance:

Hey Kelly,

Depending on where you're hosting your videos, we may be able to help as well. When you embed a video through Vidyard, we give you the lightbox code that you can add your your landing page so your video automatically goes full-size when viewers hit play. 

Happy to chat if you want more info! I'm at jon@vidyard.com.

Cheers!

Hey everyone -

Thanks for the suggestions and advice! I tried using the stackoverflow and lightbox options, but unfortunately, wasn't able to obtain what I was seeking. A little background: I copied the HTML code of the video from youtube and put that into the HTML element on the landing page. That is how my video is showing up. Is there an easy solution (perhaps a code I can add to my HTML video code) that will allow this to happen? I apologize if either the stackoverflow or lightbox option explained how to do this, but I didn't see it if it did!
