  The support article here – https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/ tells that we are allowed to change the look of the player by using &theme in the YouTube shortcode. But my question is what are the different values for this attribute that I can switch to ? The support article only shows one example using the “light” value and doesn’t gives any list of possible values…..

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  The only options are dark, which is the default, and light.

  Thanks for the answer. But what’s the difference between the two ? I tried both the values but wasn’t able to find any difference between the two……

  Hi imnooone,

  I’ve done some testing using the “light” and “dark” themes but I also can’t see a difference between the two YouTube video players. Both of these options are mentioned in our code so I’ll speak to our developers and get their thoughts on what could be happening here.

  Hi imnooone,

  Just stopping by to give you an update — this behaviour appears to be a bug so I’ve created a bug report and I’ll let you know if there are any developments.

  Thanks for reporting this!
