The black bars appear because the video uploaded by the users may include horizontal black bars at the bottom and top of the video player to fit an aspect ratio of 4:3. The YouTube video player has an aspect ratio of 16:9, so it adds vertical black bars to fit according to the dimension. And in this guide, we will help you get rid of this trouble and remove annoying black bars from YouTube videos.

- Part 2: Removing the black bars from uploaded YouTube videos

This tag stretches the video in the aspect ratio of 16:9. It is used to view the video in wide-screen format.
