    I am using oEmbed field to show post videos in post grid with Beaver Themer field connection shortcode.

    The default iframe size is creating a lot of space above and below the videos. (see below)
    Space output: https://www.screencast.com/t/FWoTMLhf0

    Here is the output from Dev tools:
    <a href="https://player.vimeo.com/video/84739025?dnt=1&app_id=122963">https://player.vimeo.com/video/84739025?dnt=1&app_id=122963</a>

    What(and where) is the best way to style the width and height of the iframe?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    If you embed a Vimeo video, I think you can use the field custom HTML then add all responsive code generated by Vimeo. Screenshot https://share.getcloudapp.com/yAuDo87K.

    Sorry, i maybe wasn't clear.

    I have an oEmbed metabox for the user to insert a featured video for each post. The user will upload both youtube and vimeo videos. I need the videos to populate on an archive type page, which they are now, but the sizing is wrong. Do I need to create a container that the video fits in?
    I need all the videos to show in a uniform iframe size. I don't understand "you can use an html field" when I'm using an oEmbed with field connection in the beaver builder custom layout.

    How can I make the output area uniform?

    Thanks!

    I found the answer with CSS. Make a relative position container and make the embedded iframe position absolute.
