Hello,
on my website, the thumbnails for embedded YouTube videos are currently displayed as squares. Previously, they were displayed correctly in 16:9 format.
Could you please explain what might be causing this and how I can restore the correct 16:9 display?
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Frank
Yes download the template pack and install it via the extension installer

Please update it to the latest version, as this should resolve the issue. Before proceeding with the update, ensure that you take a complete backup of the site.
Do I need to download the package from here for an update? https://www.joomshaper.com/joomla-templates/helixultimate
And then upload it as a package to Joomla?
Yes
One more question: Do I only need to download the "template"?
I downloaded and installed it. And the problem is solved. The preview images are back in 16:9 format. Thank you very much. All the best for 2026.
