Hi I embedded a YouTube video in the blog post but when I check the post in the website, the thumbnail is cropped off at the sides. I attached screenshots showing it.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

It is because of the WP editor.

If you want it to scale responsively, use BeBuilder instead.

You should put there ID only as the field name says Video ID, not the whole URL.

When you click on the question mark, you will see where to get it from:

Also, as you can see in a freshly added element, this field is already filled with an example ID.

Oh! When I clicked the question mark before and saw the entire YouTube URL, I thought it meant I had to insert the whole URL.

I put just the video ID and it's working now. Thank you!
