I have content next to the videos, which are placed in a column at the right. Because the aspect ratio seems to be locked horizontally, my video image is super small and there's a bunch of space right and left of the video. It looks the same on the mobile version too. I want to keep the column at the right smaller than the column at left without making the inserted videos being so small.
I know how to resize a column, and I don't want to make the columns a different size. I simply want to remove the extra space around the video. There are spaces almost as wide as the video itself to the right and left. I don't want empty spaces, just narrow margins. In the screen shot, you can see the outline perimeter of the HD video element. If I placed a video that was horizontally oriented, there would be no extra spaces around it. How do I do the same for a vertically oriented video?
Just to follow up. We did create a YouTube account and downloaded our videos, but we had the same problem. The YouTube widget also wants to make a horizontal preview. Once the end user selects it, YouTube opens and it the vertical or horizontal positioning is determined by their hardware (smart phone vs. computer/tv screen). In the end, I grabbed a screen shot of the video and posted it to my site as an image, then linked the YouTube video. It looks better (see below)
