  Hi-

  I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to custom size my Vimeo embeds to 500×400. I figured out how to do this with YouTube videos by adding the “&w=500&h=400” to the end of the code, but I can’t seem to find anything similar for Vimeo.

  Anybody?

  Thanks!

  Mandy

  Hi,

  Iam also having no luck embedding a larger size video clip from vimeo, I have asked this question myself with no luck vimeo say that if you click the “embed” button in the corner of your video and customise the size within vimeo and then copy the code into your blog that should work, but it seems that wordpress or some of the free templates have restrictions on size, the only other option is to buy some CSS credits and try it in there which I have no knowledge of so Im stuck, until WordPress address this we are all stuck guessing!

  HERE IS THE DEFINATIVE ANSWER FROM WORDPRESS:

  Hi,
  You can only use the Vimeo shortcode that we provide here: http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/11/21/how-do-i-post-a-vimeo-video/

  Resizing options are currently not included in this.
