Any way to make embedded YT vids smaller?

[skankdelvar]

First off, thanks for a lovely forum.

 

It's nice to have the option to embed YT vids but they default to occupying the entire width of the post. This makes them quite... big.

 

Many people probably like the full size vids but it would be nice to have an option to make the embedded vid smaller and more discreet in the same way as one sees them on other forums, not that I go to other forums, no siree.

 

Love, Skank

Ignore this. I tried something and it didn't work properly. Story of my life, mate.

Skank, This doesn’t work on my iPad but not sure if it will on a computer, might be worth a try  🙂

Nah, mate.

 

Seems YT discontinued the embed size options; the suggested approach is to copy the embed code and edit the frame sizes. 

 

Pasting the embed code into a post just leaves the embed code visible in the body of the post. Tried using the <> (code) option in the toolbar, same thing.

There’s an admin option to change the size of YT embeds globally but otherwise one is SOL.

It's an approach

It works, cos there's no massive YT vid.
