How Do I Make an Embedded YouTube Video Smaller in WordPress?

Embedding a YouTube video in a WordPress blog post can be a great way to share a video with your readers, but it can be a bit of a hassle to make the video fit within the post. Fortunately, there are a few simple tricks you can use to make the video smaller and easier to embed.

First, make sure the video size is set to “Small.” This will make the video fit within the post’s width and height constraints, and it will also reduce the video’s file size.

Second, use the “crop” function to crop the video so that it only includes the parts you want to include in the post. This will reduce the file size even further.

Finally, use the “shorten” function to cut the video down to only the parts you need. This will also reduce the video’s file size.

Overall, these three tricks will help you embed a YouTube video in a WordPress post without having to worry about it taking up too much space or reducing the video’s quality.
