Once you have the desired size, scroll the screen up slightly and copy the now updated html code, see image below.
BACK TO WORDPRESS
Now go into your WordPress editor and click on the “Text” tab at the top right of the WP editor window, see below image. This switches from Visual to html mode. Find where you want the video to go and paste the html code of the video. Now you can switch back to visual mode and you are done.

Hi:
I followed your instructions and it worked but the vid loaded with a 7 secs delay.
I had already uploaded the vide before but without the settings you explained on page 2. and it did not delay.
Where is the problem?
Thanks

hmm, I've never experienced a delay before with all of the videos I used.
NOTE: when you embed a video you are not uploading the video file to be played on your server. When you embed you are simply linking to its host server, which in this case is YouTube.

If you just click "Share" and then use the shortened URL YouTube gives you, won't that link be one you can use that will produce a video that is responsive and adjusts size according to the device being use? I could be wrong. That's what I've always done.

You could do that but I have seen times where that hasn't worked so well. So to avoid any problems I prefer the way I mention.
Plus when it comes to positioning or centering a video, it is best to enter <center> immediately prior to the html code and </center> immediatel after within the text editor.
