Video player size in Rise

May 08, 2024

When embedding video in Rise using the "video" interactive block, the player is not tall enough for the entire video, despite adjusting the aspect ratio in the iframe. It always results in having to scroll up a bit to see the entire video. The task bar at the bottom of the embedded video is not visible without scrolling. Has anyone else encountered this and found a fix?

Hi Lyndie,

Happy to help!

If you used an embed code to add a video to your course instead of uploading one from a file, you may have used an "embed" block instead of a "video" block. Have you tried adding or adjusting the height parameter in your embed code to see if this fixes the issue? Here's an example of an embed code with the height value defined: 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EbKAqjbVE4s?si=06tjCyZNrqprCFdi" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

If adjusting the height value doesn't work for you, please share the embed code you're using here so we can check to see how we can get it to display properly in an embed block.
