Responsive Video Embeds

Your content in motion

The [video] shortcode lets you insert a video embed that automatically resizes to fill its parent container. The idea is that you can add a video to a page and have it display correctly on all devices - desktop, tablet and mobile. Resize the window and watch as the video embeds below resize correctly. You can also click it to launch lightbox.
