To embed any video we simply paste the video link when creating a topic. However, why is it that when I embed a YouTube video, (see below) it stretches from end to end? Whereas when I embed a Video from Vimeo, it does not stretch from end to end. Any way this can be fixed? I have seen no difference even if I allocate a video size in VIMEO embed code. The video still displays the same as pasting the video link. In both cases all I do is paste the video URL.

So here are some screenshots from my community. The Vimeo video width is shorter than the YouTube Video width. Is there a way to make the Vimeo video also expand to the maximum allowed width? > ![Screen Shot 2022-06-30 at 23.04.06](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/3/7/c/37c1fef5324935523001194a31dad81cb003774f.png) > ![Screen Shot 2022-06-30 at 23.07.39](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/8/f/3/8f38d064350db63207518e1285cece63f4547b07.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/youtube-vs-vimeo-video-embed-width/231565)._
