  Try the following:
  Insert into a page a chosen Youtube video embed code, such as
  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/msl4bCZIwVI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  When you save or or update the page it will changed to the following shortcode
  [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msl4bCZIwVI&w=560&h=315]
  Now change the width value in the code to the maximum page width for the theme, whatever that may be. And modify the height value as desired. Then save or update the page.

  Didn’t work!

  I still haven’t been able to get the video to display the full width of the page.

  Also, would it be possible to have the text at the bottom overlap on the video?

  You may add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar to call for staff attention.

  Text overlapping the video? Idk, perhaps with CSS customization?

  Hi @thepicturebar, on the page you reference, (surreal surrender) I’m seeing the video at the full 1240px max-width of the content area. Did you get this figured out?
