Shortcode Embeds Ruins YouTube Vids on Mobile

    The Embed Shortcodes module causes YouTube video previews to look terrible on mobile devices.

    Instead of a video that “fits” and looks as it should, the module takes over the link and puts in inside its YouTube shortcode tags.

    And then the videos on a mobile device have a TON of black space both above and below the video, making it look extra tall instead of 16×9, like it should appear. It looks more like 16×200 or something like that!

    I’m not complaining; I’m a huge Jetpack fan. One of your biggest! But this is a problem because I can’t use the Slideshow gallery unless Shortcode Embeds is turned on. And with Shortcode Embeds turned on, all my YouTube video previews look terrible on a mobile device.

    Ideas?

    Could you post a link to an example here, so I can have a look?

    If you want your site URL to remain private, you can also contact us via this contact form:

    Could you also let me know how you inserted the video into the post? Did you paste the video link on its own line, or did you use a specific shortcode? If so, could you paste it here so I can try to reproduce on my own site?

    Thanks!
