Vertical Video Facebook embed

Support
#1

We are having problem with square and vertical video embeds from facebook! Only horizontal works.

The site in question is www.afilmbyhammer.com - updated to the latest wordpress & X Theme versions

There are some examples on http://afilmbyhammer.com/works/omg-hacks/

Some of the embed codes we are using are these:

Any idea why the videos look cropped?

Thanks!

Hey there,

Please remove your iframe from an h4 tag.

Also, posting the video iframe alone won’t make it responsive. Please try using the Video Embed shortcode. See http://demo.theme.co/integrity-1/shortcodes/responsive-video/ for usage samples and instruction.

Thanks.

Thanks for that @xian

I have tried removing the h4 tag and including the embed code within the video embed shortcode. The issue now is that for most of these square videos, the code doest not quite cut it, since the only aspect ratios available are “16:9,” “5:3,” “5:4,” “4:3,” or “3:2.”. Is there any other way to embed square videos from Facebook correctly?

Thanks for your help!
