Hi there,

WordPress has a core YouTube block you can use.

Hello Leo, yes, I am using YouTube Block.

But now there is too much white space above the video, as you can see here.

What is the reason for this and how could we fix this?

Thank you

Hi there,

i am seeing the issue when the Borlabs Cookie notice is displayed over the video placeholder. When i accept the cookies the position of the video is correct.

You can try adding this CSS to fix the space above the video:

.wp-embed-responsive .wp-has-aspect-ratio .BorlabsCookie {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

But theres not much i can do about the space below it.

Thank you, David. I have contacted Borlab and asked for a fix.

Best
