Youtube Thumbnails Show up Skewed on Site

[JessLL]

Hello. I recently went to update my website and I saw that the videos I already had up there looked different. Instead of the video thumbnails looking nice, it's started to clip the thumbnail image. I know it's not a big deal, but it would look better if the image wasn't skewed.

I've tried adding spacers to the sides of the video and it seems to fix it, but I don't want to use that method because the video doesn't fit the space very well anymore.

Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix to this? Anyone know why it has changed? Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about your youtube videos not auto-resizing for differnt mobile devices? I created an I-frame window to make my videos fit properly. Took me forever to figure out how to make it work. Take a look at the link below. You can either edit your website code and create a custom theme or you can add certain code to the pages you want a video on, which is what I did b/c going custom theme can create new problems...

Thank you very much! I went through my website and used this method and it all looks great again. Much appreciated!
