Vimeo No Longer Providing Fullscreen to Imbedded Videos

[maquise]

I have suddenly noticed today, that Vimeo no longer seems to be allowing fullscreen to embedded videos, nor is it linking to the videos on the Vimeo website; I previously thought that clicking on the word Vimeo would do so, same as Youtube, but it no longer seems to be working.

Well that is an unpleasant surprise...

This doesn't seem to apply to every video. Most of the older stuff like the Zardoz review, various episodes of BSG, etc, still has the fullscreen button on the vimeo options bar.

Workaround for Firefox

Right click on the embedded video you wish to watch in fullscreen.
Click "This Frame" > "Show Only This Frame"
Press F11 for fullscreen

I was able to get full screen by double clicking the video while it's playing (Chrome, for what it's worth)

Oooh, would never have thought of that, cheers

Strange, pulling up the video it was previously giving me trouble with, it is now once more available.
