Tip
To make the whole thumbnail fit in the window regardless of screen resolution when uploading the video in browser, add the &object_fit=contain parameter to the end of the link.
If this parameter is not specified in the link, the default object_fit=cover value will be used.
Learn more about the object_fit parameter in this CSS guide.
