### 󠀁[Video not Adjusted to the Screen Size](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-not-adjusted-to-the-screen-size/)󠁿

Hi, I know that description shows that it is only compatible to older versions of
Wordpress, but I used it for 4.4+ and it is showing background video but not adjusting
right into the screen. so it is truncated from all across the page. Is there any
way to make it fixed within the screen.
