mobile friendly video was created by capo
Hi,
I have a video gallery but there are issue with sizing on mobile phones. I uses youtube embedded code with 2 columns followed by 3 column layout. On mobile, all the videos are squashed. Any ideas how to solve this?

Did you use the Responsive template?
Also is there a link to your site?

As far as I can see, I only have a default template. The site is www.southwestfilm.co.uk

Hi Capo,
Your issue is the video wall that you're utilizing. Instead of allowing site visitors to view all of your videos from one page (which is very convenient), instead I would recommend providing a page for each video. This is better for SEO and offers the ability to provide background context (credits, linkage, etc). For example, you could include the following for each respective portfolio page:
- Communication Goals
- Challenges
- About the Client: logo, products/services offering, website
- Credits: videographers, photographers, director, talent, music, etc.
Using such an approach can enable you to show up in search results for various keywords. It will also allow you to flatter both clients and partnering vendors.
Here's an article that I wrote on responsive embeds:
joomlabe.at/joomla-advice/design/do-the-right-thing-embed-responsively
A few more tips:
Use the SEF feature to remove the "index.php" from your URLs - cleaner, simple & CMS agnostic, here is an example:
www.southwestfilm.co.uk/portfolio/tradestock-freeform-tray
Make your portfolio navigation one level - easy navigation
Be mindful of text & image spacing:

I hope this helps,
Joe Campbell

The template you are using is hiding this module.
The "hidden-phone" module suffix is doing this.
