BP-Social embedded media in activity stream

Hi,

I’m wondering if there is something in the theme which is limiting the height of embedded media in the activity stream.

I am using oEmbed plugin to post YouTube videos, but when they show up in the activity stream, they appear wide and short.

I’m attaching an example. I’d like the videos to appear in full height and width. Maybe it’s a BuddyPress issue?

ok..i try out the plugin..

openup bp-social/_inc/css/base.css in line 268+ and find this css code
```
.widget object, .widget embed, .widget param { 

display:block !important; 

float:left; 

height:auto; 

margin:0; 

max-width:100%; 

padding:0; 

text-align:center; 

}
```
delete the bold height: auto

that should made it default to the plugin video height.

check this out:slight_smile:
