Hi there,

You aren't doing anything wrong :-)

The theme determines the size of the video. This is mainly for aesthetics, but also for usability. If the user had control of the video size, it can cause layout/structure issues with how that header space works. There's a lot of scripting going on, so it's important the video size is standard for each post.

Best,

Chris

Hi there,

Great theme, loving it!

...but when I use the embed code from YouTube the video does not display to the dimensions I stated in the code. All videos are displaying at dimensions of 650x366, whether I state something smaller or larger.

What am I doing wrong?
