Can't seem to find YouTube Channel

I am trying to access my YouTube account/channel to show a video I uploaded in a widget. It never shows anything from YouTube when I try to select a single video to show.

However, when I use the wpmu channel, I see stuff.

My channel name is Ed Mana.

Ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Ed,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

I tested on my test site using latest version of YouTube Featured Video plugin and it worked fine with other channels also.

I think you are adding wrong channel name.

Could you please share me your channel URL so that i can troubleshoot it?

Kind Regards,

I went back and did some digging and found it. However, it is not working as I would expect.

Take a look at:

The youtube video is on the right.

Thanks!

Hi Ed,

Thank you for your reply.

I have tested it on my test site using default WordPress theme Twenty Twelve and it worked fine.

I saw your page http://wp.technologyondemand.com/index.php/iremotereset/ and found some CSS is missing in your theme which makes videos display correctly.

Please try adding following CSS code in the style.css file of your child theme or add it in your site using the below plugin.

```
embed, iframe, object, video {

max-width: 100%;

}
```

Vinod,

That now makes it fit in the sidebar. However, 2 things:

1. The area is way too tall. When running the video, there is a lot of black space above and below the video. How can we make the box fit the video?

2. How do we eliminate the white space all around the video. I would like just the Youtube content without the extra white space around it.

Thanks!

Try using the following solutions.

2. How do we eliminate the white space all around the video. I would like just the Youtube content without the extra white space around it.

Use the following CSS code to achieve it.
```
.Ytvw_YouTubeVideo_Widget {

border: 0 !important;

padding: 0 !important;

background: transparent !important;

box-shadow: none !important;

}



.Ytvw_YouTubeVideo_Widget ul li,

.Ytvw_YouTubeVideo_Widget ul {

padding: 0 !important;

}



body #sidebar .Ytvw_YouTubeVideo_Widget iframe {

width: 100% !important;

height: 250px !important;

}
```
