  Have you read the support documents here?

  What exact code have you been using to change the size? You have to use the codes listed there.

  I’m also not sure YouTube offers a size that is smaller than 440 pixels wide. In that case, there isn’t much you can do other than build an HTML table and put the YouTube inside it to shrink it down; alternately, you can change themes to one that has a content column that’s 440 pixels wide or wider.

  Try changing the place where the video has been embedded. It works most of the time.

  I have successfully changed the size on videos by changing the width and height to”
  <object width="320" height="265">

  @Raincoaster I can empathize. Had it not worked for me, I would have also not believed it but trust me, I don’t know how, but it works most of the time.
