Embedded video not center-aligning

  Hello,

  I’m trying to embed a Vimeo video on my website, but am running into some difficulties. When I use this shortcode:

  [vimeo https://vimeo.com/373656269 w=1280&h=720]

  It doesn’t automatically embed/display the video. Instead, it literally just displays the text “[vimeo https://vimeo.com/373656269 w=1280&h=720]”

  So… I tried another method.

  I copy/paste the full embed code from Vimeo, which is:

  [vimeo 373656269 w=640 h=360]

  And that at least displays the video. However, whenever I adjust the width/height ratio, it shoves the video to the right of the screen. I tried to remedy this by using this before/after the embed code:

  //my embed code

  –as well as this–

  <p style=”text-align:center;”>

  //my embed code

  </p>

  And yet it does nothing, as my video still remains shoved to the right.

  Forgive me, as I’m extremely new to WordPress and coding, etc.

  Thanks!

  Quick correction:

  My first post wouldn’t let me display the first set of code added to attempt to center-align. But here’s a link to a site I was referencing:
