Is there a way to control the size of a You tube video I am sharing. I put the url for the you tube video and it works, but the size of the video on the post is so large. Is there a way I can control the size of the video I share in a post?

I am inserting the share url here to see what size it comes up in this forum…

I would like the video to be the size it is here on your forum. In my forum the video size is larger than this

This has started to be an issue for some users since WordPress removed the max size option setting and tried to establish available width on the fly.

This thread may help – but read through to the end…

how did you embed it??? oddly it has this styling from the embed

which is causing the white space and large link… wp does not add
this… and sp does not add this…

it appears you have a theme or another wp plugin that is impacting
oembeds…

link?  just the url?

but what about plugins and/or themes like I asked??  wp does not put that div in there (and of course sp does not since we just wp handle it)…

no jetpack?

Is your site by any chance using the ‘Responsive’ WP theme? I think it is and the problem here is that the WP theme seems to be embedding the padding inline in the div element that displays the video – and is basically putting too much padding in. So there would be no point adding anything to the stylesheet as the inline styling will always win out and override the CSS file.

I will give this some thought and investigate a little but you may need to bring this question up with the Resposvive theme team to determine the best way to fix the problem up.
