How To Resize An Embedded YouTube Video

If you've embedded a YouTube video on your website and you need to resize it...

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Look at the YouTube video EMBED code that you've put on your website. You are going to need the width and height of the video from that code
2. Go to the Aspect Ratio Calculator (ARC)
3. On the top left, there's a text field labled "W₁". Enter the current width of the YouTube video there
4. Right under that text field, there's a text field labled "H₁". Enter the current height of the YouTube video there
5. There's a drop-down menu below those two text fields labeled "Common Ratios". Choose "1920 x 1080 (HDTV iPhone 6 Plus)" from the menu
6. Go up to the text field labeled "W₂" and enter the width that you want the video to be
7. The form will automatically give you the new video height in the "H₂" text field
8. Leave the Aspect Ratio Calculator (ARC) page open, but go back to your website where you placed the original YouTube embed code
9. Edit the original YouTube EMBED code and replace the old width and height with the new width and height that the ARC gave you
10. Save the post or page with the embedded YouTube video code on it
11. When you view your website, the video will now be displayed with the new width and height you specified in the code
