Is YouTube 16x9 or 4x3?

Does YouTube use 16x9 or 4x3 video ratio? YouTube uses a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is a standard aspect ratio that most smartphones and DSLR cameras use.

Are YouTube videos 16:9?

The standard aspect ratio for YouTube on a computer is 16:9. If your video has a different aspect ratio, the player will automatically change to the ideal size to match your video and the viewer's device.

I would suggest hitting the oembed url:

https://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={videoID}&format=json

This gives you the exact video dimensions for videos that are public. I'm not sure about private videos though. It will also return thumbnail dimensions, which seem to be different im some cases, so just be sure to not mix them up.
