YouTube Player Sizes For WSO's

I'm trying to find out what player sizes are allowed for YT videos in the WSO section?

Most member seem to use the default 480 x 385, but I thought I'd read somewhere that a larger size was allowed, because it's very often hard to see details clearly in a video with that small format.

I've hunted around here, but I can't find any info. on that

    You could record it at whatever size you think is acceptable, but then limit it using markup. This means that when you switch the player to full screen, it will look a ton better.

    We have no control over the size of the embedded Youtube video (unfortunately).

    I wrote a thread a few weeks ago recommending that the default size of embedded Youtube videos inside the WSO section be increased since that size and format is just not very feasible anymore.

    You can have your say here:

      Thanks Will..I don't know how I missed that thread ( and I'll put in my comments also). Plus I'll also fire off a ticket with the same comment via the help desk

      Anyway...if there's no option for larger player size, I think for my purposes, I'm going have to set it up so that prospects will view the videos off the forum.

      If I try to stay with the default player size, it would a total waste of time trying to view the video, and it would do the product no justice at all.

        Yes, unfortunately for detailed videos that's really your only option to send them elsewhere to watch the video. As I mentioned in the thread I linked to above, that's not a great solution for you as a vendor or the forum. Your conversions will likely drop a little if you need to send people to an external page and the forum potentially loses traffic once you take them off site.

        A better option would be to have the standard player size increased so I hope they consider it.

          Oh... for sure.

          Maybe they'll listen and give us an option to allow a larger player.

          I sent in a ticket, so we'll wait and see
