We shipped three new features that directly address the most common pain points we hear from eLearning creators, LMS administrators, and instructional designers: testing SCORM packages without a full LMS, protecting video content with branding, and giving learners a distraction-free fullscreen experience. Here&#8217;s everything that&#8217;s new.<\/p>\n\n<!-- JUMP LINKS -->\n<ul>\n    <li><a href=\"#scorm-viewer\">Free SCORM Viewer \u2014 test packages instantly in your browser<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"#video-watermark\">Video Watermarking \u2014 brand your Video to SCORM output<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"#fullscreen-control\">Fullscreen Button Control \u2014 show or hide the fullscreen toggle<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr>\n\n<!-- \u2500\u2500 FEATURE 1: SCORM VIEWER \u2500\u2500 -->\n<h2 id=\"scorm-viewer\">Free SCORM Viewer: Test Your SCORM Packages Instantly, No LMS Required<\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Free-SCORM-Viewer-Player-Online-\u2013-Test-SCORM-1-2-2004-Instantly-XtoSCORM-05-24-2026_09_06_PM.png\" class=\"img-responsive w-100 mb-5 mt-5\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<p>Setting up a test environment on Moodle or TalentLMS just to preview a SCORM package is slow, frustrating, and completely unnecessary. Our new <a href=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/scorm-viewer\"><strong>free SCORM Viewer<\/strong><\/a> lets you upload any SCORM ZIP file and preview it directly in your browser \u2014 no LMS installation, no account, no configuration.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What the SCORM Viewer checks<\/h3>\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t just a simple file player. The viewer validates your package end-to-end so you can catch issues before learners ever see them:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n    <li><strong>Manifest file validation<\/strong> \u2014 confirms your <code>imsmanifest.xml<\/code> is present and correctly structured, which is the first thing any LMS checks on import.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Course launch<\/strong> \u2014 verifies your entry point loads without errors in a controlled environment.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Navigation flow<\/strong> \u2014 tests that buttons, menus, and course progression work as expected.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>SCORM API communication<\/strong> \u2014 ensures your course connects to the SCORM API and exchanges data correctly.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Completion status<\/strong> \u2014 validates that your course sets <code>cmi.completion_status<\/code> or <code>cmi.core.lesson_status<\/code> based on learner progress.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Score tracking<\/strong> \u2014 checks that scores are calculated and sent to the SCORM system correctly.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Suspend data handling<\/strong> \u2014 verifies that learner progress is saved and restored between sessions.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Error detection<\/strong> \u2014 surfaces missing files, broken links, or runtime errors before they reach production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Who should use it<\/h3>\n\n<p>If you build SCORM content in Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, iSpring, or generate packages using XtoSCORM&#8217;s PDF, PPT, or Video converters, the SCORM Viewer is the fastest way to verify your output before uploading to your LMS. It supports both <strong>SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004<\/strong>, accepts ZIP files up to 50MB, and automatically deletes uploaded packages after processing for security.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/scorm-viewer\"><strong>Try the free SCORM Viewer \u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<!-- \u2500\u2500 FEATURE 2: VIDEO WATERMARK \u2500\u2500 -->\n<h2 id=\"video-watermark\">Video Watermarking in the Video to SCORM Converter<\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zz.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive w-100 mb-5 mt-5\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/video-to-scorm\"><strong>Video to SCORM Converter<\/strong><\/a> now supports watermarking. You can embed a custom image or text watermark directly into the video player output of your SCORM package \u2014 giving you control over branding and content protection without any video editing software.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Watermark options<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n    <li><strong>Type<\/strong> \u2014 choose between an <em>Image<\/em> watermark (upload your logo or graphic) or a <em>Text<\/em> watermark (enter any string, such as your company name or a confidentiality notice).<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Opacity<\/strong> \u2014 set transparency from 0 to 100 so the watermark is visible without obscuring your content. Most use cases work well between 30\u201350.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Position<\/strong> \u2014 place the watermark at Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, or Centre to match your brand guidelines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Why this matters for LMS content<\/h3>\n\n<p>When you distribute video-based SCORM courses through an LMS, learners can often download or screen-record the content. A persistent watermark \u2014 especially one that identifies the learner&#8217;s organisation or carries a copyright notice \u2014 acts as both a deterrent and a traceability tool. This is particularly useful for compliance training, paid courses, and any content shared across multiple client organisations.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/video-to-scorm\"><strong>Try the Video to SCORM Converter \u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<!-- \u2500\u2500 FEATURE 3: FULLSCREEN CONTROL \u2500\u2500 -->\n<h2 id=\"fullscreen-control\">Fullscreen Button Control Across All Converters<\/h2>\n\n<p>All three converters \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/pdf-to-scorm\">PDF to SCORM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/ppt-to-scorm\">PPT to SCORM<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/video-to-scorm\">Video to SCORM<\/a> \u2014 now include a <strong>Fullscreen Button<\/strong> option. A simple Yes\/No toggle controls whether the fullscreen button appears in the SCORM player delivered to learners.<\/p>\n\n<h3>When to show it<\/h3>\n\n<p>For self-paced e-learning where learners control their own environment, showing the fullscreen button gives them a better, more immersive experience \u2014 especially for video content or dense PDF documents that benefit from a larger viewing area.<\/p>\n\n<h3>When to hide it<\/h3>\n\n<p>Many LMS platforms embed SCORM content inside iframes with their own chrome \u2014 navigation bars, progress indicators, sidebar menus. In these layouts, a fullscreen button that takes the content out of the LMS frame can break tracking, disrupt navigation, or simply look out of place. Hiding the button keeps the learner inside the expected LMS environment and prevents any SCORM API communication from being interrupted.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is a small setting with a meaningful impact on the professionalism of your delivered courses. It takes one click to configure and zero effort to maintain.<\/p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<!-- SUMMARY \/ CTA -->\n<h2>All Three Features, Available Now<\/h2>\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick summary of what shipped this month:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n    <li>\ud83d\udd0d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/scorm-viewer\">Free SCORM Viewer<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 upload and validate any SCORM 1.2 or 2004 package in your browser, no LMS needed.<\/li>\n    <li>\ud83c\udfac <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/xtoscorm.com\/video-to-scorm\">Video Watermarking<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 embed image or text watermarks with custom opacity and position in Video to SCORM output.<\/li>\n    <li>\u26f6 <strong>Fullscreen Button Toggle<\/strong> \u2014 show or hide the fullscreen control across all PDF, PPT, and Video converters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>All features are live and free to use.
