Video size in shortcode no longer working?

[Brandy]

for at least a year now, I’ve used the following format when embedding a youtube video

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow7KxqSRJ9Y&w=400&h=225%5D

recently, all videos embedded with this formula are now showing full screen.

example post: https://solutions.borderstates.com/linemans-rodeo-builds-skill-camaraderie/

is there a bulk default video embed size setting somewhere, OR can you please recommend the correct format for this shortcode to size to 400px wide instead of full size?

Hello, wordpress itself should automatically embed your video just by placing the URL at the post, and if you prefer, i can just provide you a css code to change the size of all videos to 400px, i would need a direct link to a post with a video

how fantastic thank you so much for your help!
here are a couple of direct links where you can see they are loading full size even thought we tried to set 400px in the shortcode… a CSS option would be perfect because this is the size we want for all of our youtube videos

So the issue is that wordpress now forces a div around all embedded videos. We can’t get rid of it:

I wrote a CSS rule into our template that forces that wrapper to 400px wide
.fluid-width-video-wrapper { width:400px; height:225px;}

You can see that it accepts the 400px but ignores my 225px height.

I’m willing to call this a victory for now. thanks for the CSS rule idea.
