 * I’ve started adding song samples to my website’s music review pages, and I like
   to do so with the YouTube embed block. You can see an example of that linked 
   below.
 * However, I noticed that the size of these embeds is exceptionally, needlessly
   large on desktop. It pushes the comment section et al. further down the page,
   which is liable to increase bounce rate and decrease interactions.
 * Naturally, I care about that, as well as general aesthetics. I tried looking 
   at the block’s options, but could only locate a way to adjust margins, which 
   had no effect. Thank you for any help. I am completely new to anything regarding
   code.

 * Put the YouTube block inside a **Group** block.
 * Then change the size of the Group block container.

 * Thank you, George! Before I mark this as resolved, what is the best way to automate
   this process? Naturally, selecting YouTube embed, then grouping it, then typing
   in the dimensions is a bit of a pain. Is creating a custom Pattern with a preconfigured
   Group size the most convenient solution?
