Essential grid youtube video questions

[Minna]

Hi, I’m having some questions about the video player:

1. Is it possible to edit the “close”-button in the opened video player?

2. The opened video is leaves black bars on sides of the video on desktop and on bottom and top on mobile, how to fix this?

3. Is it possible to have a custom image in the grid’s thumbnail instead of the original youtube thumnbail image?

Thank you very much for any help.

Hi Minna,

Thanks for reaching out.
Please find the answer to your questions below.

1. There are no such options available, but you can change them using custom CSS coding. If you are not proficient, I would suggest you hire a developer who can assist you to do the customization or you can avail of our newly launched service called One, where we answer the questions beyond normal theme support.

2. The black part is the due to aspect ratio of the Youtube video, which maintains the height and width in ratio.

3. A custom image can’t be set for the Youtube videos, it always shows the video thumbnail.

Thanks
