Virtually any aspect ratio (including 16:9 widescreen and 4:3 standard) is supported, however 16:9 is recommended.

The recommended frame sizes for our preferred 16:9 aspect ratio are 640x360, 1024x576, or 1280x720 pixels. For videos that are intended to be displayed in full screen mode a minimum width of 1024 pixels is recommended.
