YouTube Videos on Pages

Hello, Sorry for asking two questions on the same day! Is there a way you recommend uploading YouTube videos on pages so they size properly on mobile?
Right now I just copy and paste the URL and it looks great on desktop, but not so great on mobile.
On mobile, it only shows a portion of the video until clicked.
Any advice is appreciated.
Hi Kevin,
Give this a solution a shot:

Let me know if this helps :)
Worked perfect thanks again man!
Do you know if there are any faster ways to get the videos to format correctly? That does work but it's pretty tedious to do in the text tab of the WordPress editor and there isn't enough padding on the bottom of the videos.
For where it says your embed source here. Should I add source="" then put the video URL in there? I did get it to work the other way but it is a bit tedious.
Hi there,
an embed code looks something like this:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/thIlxChNYqk" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This a random YT example taken from there share.
How often you going to be adding videos? If its a lot then maybe a plugin like ARVE could help:
