not really sure how to share code since everytime i do it displays the video, but i was able to come up with solution by adding some custom css to the theme. For some reason the video is set at a max-width:300px; i just added code to change it to 100% which seems to be working

It will depend on your video, but for example YouTube.

The code will look something like this 

iframe width="860" height="450" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iemvnxDjrBY?wmode=opaque" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""

If you set the width to a percent - it is looking for its container to set the size as it isn't a responsive embed code so it doesn't work to just set it to 100% (you will see when you verify it will get set back to 350.  You can though change the code and set a certain size for the max size and then dominKnow will automatically shrink it with the container)

In this case I made the video 850 wide.

When i added the below code to the css in the theme settings it seemed to size the video to how i needed it. Will this cause problems in the final product?

 

#2675726_content_wrapper {

max-width:none !important;
}

.dki-authoring-content-wrapper   {
max-width:none !important; }

Sorry we don't provide direct support for CSS modifications. We advise to test thoroughly and target as specific items as you can. Targeting items that are at higher levels in the hierarchy can cause a lot of problems. For your use case I suspect using the approach I suggested would provide a safer alternative..

well we are embedding the video from a platform called wistia. And when we gave it a fixed with, the video would get cut off when the course was scaled to the tablet or mobile sizes.

That is too bad. I tested the above with YouTube and it works great (confirmed on device as well). There might be additional settings in your Wistia code that could help. If the CSS option works, great, but as recommend, please test thoroughly.
