SiteOrigin Hero with YouTube video background.

Headlines with video backgrounds are everywhere on the internet so it must be me who can not figure this out, but…

My youtube video is not filling the box and is off to the left, ad it has letterbox black bars.

What am I doing wrong?

until it is fixed it is here. https://franklinmedia.co.uk/

    Ho… and I have just noticed… it comes to an end and shows linked videos. I am wanting it to repeat.

    Do I need to use an on-site hosted video, would this fill the box and repeat?

    This video was too big to upload, does anyone know the size limit?

    Hi Adrapper,

    You can have the YouTube video be the full width of the page by adding the following CSS to WP AdminAppearanceCustom CSS:

    .sow-slider-image-container > iframe {
    	width: 100%:;
    }
    

    You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.

    Unfortunately, this isn’t possible at this time.

    The size limit is dependent on your hosting provider. You should be able to find the maximum upload by opening your website and navigating to WP AdminMediaAdd New and it should be mentioned on that page.

    I wouldn’t recommend using a video that’s larger than 1MB as the video should be ideally as small as possible.
