Yeah, there’s a max width setting.

That, and other ways to customize, are detailed here:

Bummer! It appears as if it embeds this NICELY, but TOO WIDE for my template. It blows out all the rest of the newsletter. Is there a way to format this same thing with parameters of only 350 pixels wide instead of the larger image????

Oh wait…. I worked out how to change the colour of the text… but still interested in deleting it all together!

I’ll second that, John!

Or at least to change the colour of this text so it fits with my design??

Hi–

Is there any mechanism to remove the text around these YouTube videos? All of the rating stars, view info and titling is ruining my template’s mojo.

Thanks.

Yep, you’d use: *|YOUTUBE:video_id:max_width|* or *|BLIPTV:video_id:max_width|*, etc.

Is there a way to change the size of the video with the merge tag? I’m having issues where my video shows up but the size of it alters my layout completely.

This YouTube video integration is pretty great, but I would also like to be able to suppress the video title, stars, and rating.

They spoil my clean and simple layouts.

Maybe you could add additional parameters. For example: *|YOUTUBE:TZ860P4iTaM:120:notitle:nostars:norating|*
Thanks!
