To resize the Webflow video embed widget, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the video embed widget: Start by clicking on the video embed widget within your Webflow project. The widget will be highlighted, and you'll see options appear in the right-hand sidebar.

  2. Adjust the widget settings: In the right-hand sidebar, you will find various settings for the video embed widget. Look for the "Size" settings or similar options.

  3. Set the desired dimensions: Webflow allows you to define the width and height of the video embed widget. Enter the desired dimensions (in pixels) for your video player. Make sure to maintain the aspect ratio to avoid distorting the video.

  4. Preview and publish: After making the necessary adjustments, preview your site to see how the resized video embed widget looks. If you are happy with the changes, publish your site to make the resized video embed widget live.

It's important to note that the actual size of the video will depend on the original source file. Resizing the video embed widget in Webflow will only affect the player dimensions, not the video itself. If you need to modify the video dimensions, you may need to edit the video file separately or use a video editing tool before embedding it in Webflow.

Additional Tips:

  • You can experiment with different dimensions to find the ideal size for your video embed. Consider the layout and design of your webpage to ensure the video fits seamlessly into the overall design.
  • Keep in mind that resizing the video embed widget to very small dimensions can affect the video's visibility and usability for users. It's essential to strike a balance between optimization and user experience.

Now, that you have successfully resized the Webflow video embed widget, you can beautifully incorporate videos into your website design without any hassle.
