Fixed with #115.

Thanks! Will be nice to have a consistent look & feel for them. :-)

In https://w3c.github.io/wai-intro-accessibility/fundamentals/accessibility-intro/#examples I find these too big. The fact that it is a picture automatically draws lots of attention, and the picture itself doesn't need to communicate meaning -- So I think it should be smaller. However, I know that my settings do odd things with sizes -- so maybe I wouldn't think it too big in other configurations? I welcome different perspectives.

In any case, I think it would be good to have a few sizes options for different contexts, including one that is much smaller (potentially for places like highlights https://www.w3.org/WAI/highlights/archive), and bigger (for places like Perspectives overview https://w3c.github.io/wai-website/perspective-videos/).

ftr: I'm a bit hesitant having an arrow play button in cases where clicking it goes to a web page instead of automatically starting a video.

However, I do see that other places on the Web, and it doesn't bother me too much.

I'm fine leaving as is for now.

If someone is looking for a research &/or design project, maybe they want to look into options...

Just noted in https://w3c.github.io/wai-intro-accessibility/fundamentals/accessibility-intro/ that would like less space above video thumbnail so close proximity with intro above. (can be low priority).

I would not have been opposed to having an inline video player on the page. Maybe I put the play button in one of the corners to make it clear that this is a link to a video.

The spacing is a paragraph spacing. Less spacing will look weird in other situations.

Oh, just seeing your first comment on the sizes: We never did define anything about those thumbnails. I took the size of the thumbnails that you added and deducted from there.

Please define all variations and sizes so that there is a way to implement them. We cannot go around and iterate on those at this stage of the project.
