I used the twenty-seventeen customize tool to add an embedded youtube video to my header-media, by only providing a link url.

But it displays with 2 black side bars, on the left and right of the video. From reading other posts, this is how Youtube formatted the video to display. But is there a way to override this somehow?

My work-in-progress website is: www.diatomfilms.com so you can see the problem.

Found this article with quick google search: https://filmora.wondershare.com/youtube-video-editing/remove-youtube-videos-black-bars.html

I guess the fourth solution in the article would be helpful for you because you have already uploaded the video on YouTube.

Click on the Edit button next to the video, and add the most suited instruction in the Tag bar below:

enter image description here

t:crop=16:9 This tag zooms in on the video because of which the contents at the borders (black bars in this case) do not appear anymore.

yt:stretch=16:9 This tag stretches the video in the aspect ratio of 16:9. It is used to view the video in wide-screen format.

yt:stretch=4:3 if your video is appearing in wide-screen format, but you want it to display in 720 x 480 pixels, apply this tag. It scales down the video 4:3 aspect.
