Whitespace above video upload

Hi Oliver Beirne ,

Could it be it added lines to the post itself? If you check the tools > source code of the post and look for:

<p></p>
<p></p>

You could delete that for now. (of course doesn't solve the issue, if it added it by itself)

There was one pair of <p> tags wrapped around the video but removing them didn't change anything sadly.

 Oliver Beirne  I'm assuming this group isn't public-facing? If you Inspect the video from the browser tooling, do you see any weird padding/margin/blocks between that and the header?

Can you try adding the same video to a Generic Content widget on a test page in another group to see if you're catching some stray CSS somewhere?

Inspect shows me this:

I can't see any specific styling around the video but you can see the whitespace above the video is considered part of the upload. We do have a ton of styling customisations across our site theme, but I have no way of knowing if they are the cause of this?

If you edit the Generic Content widget, and go to the source code of the content, does the video have "height=711" defined anywhere? If so, delete that (and any other height specifications) from the HTML and see if that does it. I haven't looked close into it, but the content editor adds some specific height/weight dimensions on images and videos and doesn't always calculate the way you'd want. 

So I didn't exactly figure out the whitespace solution, rather I found an alternative to using the generic content widget. Instead of re-uploading the video, I used the Unfiltered HTML widget to reference the video that is already uploaded in the media gallery of the group.

To my great shame. it took me too long to figure this approach out but it looks a lot better now:

For anyone interested, here's the HTML code I used (including specifying the frame to show on page load so to avoid the initial black screen of the video):

<video width="100%" height="" controls preload="metadata">
<source src="">community.arm.com/.../Why-Did-You-Become-an-Arm-Ambassador_5F00_.mp4.mp4 type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
