embedded YouTube-video / screen size smaller ?

[erich37]

when embedding a YouTube video, then the screensize of the Video at the Forum is a bit smaller than on YouTube itself.
Why ?

Is there a chance to have the same screen-size as on YouTube ?

Admin CP -> Home -> BB Code Media Sites -> YouTube

You will see dimensions in the Embed HTML. They are specified twice in the code. Change both instances to whatever dimensions you want.

This is what I use on my site:

<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/{$id}?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe>

do you know what is the standard-size of the videos shown on youtube ?
I would like to have the same size of the videos on my forum.

many thanks!

thanks guys, works fine !
not sure why it is smaller as per XF-default than as youtube-default..... should be same size IMHO

I believe the size that has been set here is to ensure embedded videos fit in personal conversations when using the fixed width style.
