Display at 100% Width

This will take up the full amount of space on your screen, whether on a desktop or mobile device. The video will adjust its width accordingly to fit that screen. This is recommended for use in certain blocks, pages with a smaller available width area (i.e. desktop view in screenshots below) and areas in which the video will be placed within a responsive column/table.

  • Enter "100%" in the Width field
  • Adjust Height if desired.
  • Hit OK.
