YouTube Gallery is a great tool and using the shadow box keeps visitors on your site and not redirected to a new video on another site.
When you view on mobile, however, the video in the shadow box is a thumbnail.
Question: How do I adjust the size of the shadow box for the mobile view so that it fills the screen with video?

Hi Paul,
I see.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to have it shown full screen, I am sorry. Please feel free to post an Idea post to suggest this improvement.
Thanks! Kind regards.
Paul - you dispensed with the shadow box?
Full screen on my phone :-)

H Esahc and Elisa,
There is still a YouTube gallery at the top of the page that displays in a shadowbox when played. https://www.jpw.ca/education-resources-downloads.html
Aside from a good way to display videos, the shadowbox viewing keeps visitors on your site and not directed off or to another video or site.
What is needed is a shadowbox that adjusts to mobile by reducing the margins and increases the size of the video especially when the phone is turned on its side.
That would be my suggestion to make the YouTube Gallery truly mobile friendly.
Hi Paul,
I have set your post as Idea.
Thanks! Kind regards.
