Hello,

I have added YouTube videos and they look OK on a computer, but they don't scale for other devices until you press play.

I've chosen 'contain' rather than 'cover', since cover doesn't look good.

Cheers,

Owen.

Please see attached - one pic of a computer screen where the videos show properly, and the other on a phone where they are cropped to a square.

Hi, Owen,

We suppose that this behavior is normal in terms of YouTube videos with a thumbnail. Unfortunately, we cannot do anything with it.

Hmmm, it doesn't happen with my Google sites or my Squarespace sites.

Hi, Owen,

Have you added the same videos on your Nicepage page and Google and Squarespace websites?
Could you please provide a link to the page that demonstrates the issue?

Hi, Owen,

In the Mobile View, try decreasing the height of your Videos that are cropped.

Hi Paul,

Are you suggesting that I make my embedded videos so small that they don't require auto-scaling to fit on a phone? That would make them very small in a computer web browser, no?

Cheers,

Owen.

Hi Owen,

You can change the height and width of the video depending on the device used.
You could see the different screen options at the top of the Nicepage Desktop

enter image description here

If you change the height in mobile view it will not affect other screens. Please make all changes from bigger screens to smaller ones - it's the best way for proper responsiveness.

OK, that seems to work. But it's a lot of mucking around to do that for every video and every device.

I have embedded other videos using html iframe - they still look terrible.

Hi, Owen,

It is advisable to use the Video Element for embedding videos to Nicepage pages.

Could you please demonstrate the videos that have been embedded using HTML?

They are in-house and are Microsoft Stream videos, so it's a bit tricky. I can point you to a page with both Youtube and Stream embeds though.
