I have since figured out why the video formatted the way it did (in a small square as opposed to the full screen version), but I hope this will suffice for learning purposes. Please bear with me as I am still getting a handle on the backend of things... it's the wild wild west out here on the internet and in tech universe, and I am but an analog girl in a digital world.
