Fullscreen toggle for embeds

When using an iframe to embed a Gamma web page on a website, it would be nice to have a toggle to expand the iframe to full screen. Perhaps you're familiar with the outdated Microsoft Sway? If so, I'd like this to work similarly to a Sway embed. It has a toggle icon in the upper right-hand corner of an iframe embed. You click or tap the toggle, and it expands the iframe into a full page until you press Escape to return to the site or page where the iframe is embedded. This would be a fantastic addition to Gamma!

Hey Dallas Hulsey, this is a super clear request, thanks for spelling it out (and the Sway example helps a lot). I’ll pass this along to the team.
Quick question so we design it right: should the fullscreen toggle be something Gamma adds inside the embedded content (so it always shows up), or something the site owner can opt into/configure when they generate the embed code?

Nik Payne (Gamma design), for me, I would have it function similarly to YouTube embeds, where you can always toggle full screen. I'm not sure why anyone would want to embed a Gamma and then keep users from expanding it to full screen. Both YouTube and Microsoft Sway build the full-screen functionality into the player itself. That way, if you are using a site like Canvas LMS, which strips out certain features of embed codes, you still have the option for viewers to use full screen because it's built into the player's code.
