When embedding videos on your website, you can maintain the original video ratio to display it without cropping. This ensures the video looks good and fits well within your website layout, even when used as an album cover.
Steps to Embed Videos in Original Format
Select the Appropriate Format:
When embedding a video, such as a YouTube Short, choose the appropriate format that matches the video's original size.
Confirm the Format:
Confirm your selection to ensure the video is placed in its original format within your website layout.
Video Playback:
When played, the video will also be displayed in its original format.
Fixing Horizontal Albums or Previews

Replace Video Preview:
Click on 'Replace Video'.
Select "Use custom preview image".
Take a Screenshot:
Capture a screenshot of the video to use as the custom video cover.
Upload Custom Cover:
Delete the original preview by clicking on the bin icon.
