How to display video in vertical format?

Site URL: https://www.clipsk.com/test

I'm trying to embed or upload videos displayed in vertical / 9:16 aspect ratio but I can't find a way to make it work.

The video block always shows up in standard widescreen format.

If I use an embed block and define aspect ratio in pixels in the embed code, the video flows outside of the container/block.

Try adding this to Design > Custom CSS to adjust ratio

.sqs-native-video .native-video-player {
    padding-bottom: 100% !important;
}

Thank you @tuanphan – this did the trick for uploaded/native Squarespace video!

Is it possible to do a similar solution for embedded videos?

Try this CSS

.fe-block .embed-block iframe {
    width: 100% !important;
    height: 350px;
}

can you apply this to certain videos? when i added it to my CSS it changed all videos on the website from horizontal to vertical.

Target with video block id.

#video-block-id .sqs-native-video .native-video-player {
    padding-bottom: 100% !important;
}

Hey, thank you for this!  This worked, but the video player is wider than the video. How could I match the width? How do I apply it to only videos that I upload that are vertical, the CSS above didn't seem to do the trick.

Did you ever figure out the code to change only videos that are vertical to vertical? 

here you go.

.video-block { 
    .video-player {
       padding-bottom: 125% !important
    }
}

am i doing something wrong?

the widht is still not matching the video when it plays

Hello!

How can this be done for mobile?

Thanks

Hi folks, 

Having similar trouble with video formatting as a background to a section on a homepage. Formatting of the video and the spacing of the adjacent section all looks good on desktop and mobile landscape, but on mobile portrait view, I end up with a big space underneath (image attached).

Website is here: BaltimoreSmartLine.org

If you need the PW DM me please.

Here's the CSS i'm using for video formatting now:

/**Full Width Block for mobile**/
@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
[data-section-id="5e8e5176957b3306a8e428c7"] video {
    width: 100% !important; 
    height: auto !important;
 left: 0 !important;
    top: 0 !important;
    bottom: 0 !Important; 
}

  [data-section-id="5e8e5176957b3306a8e428c7"] {
    
    height: 35vh;
    margin-top: 20vh;
}
}
 

Any thoughts on how to tighten up that spacing on mobile portrait view without messing up other views?

Thank you!

Don't remove any code in your current code

Add this to Design > Custom CSS

@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
[data-section-id="5e8e5176957b3306a8e428c7"] {
    min-height: unset !important;
}
}
