How do I embed videos from Coub?

With this plugin you can use the URL to embed videos. Just paste the video URL into your post editor:

https://coub.com/view/4211j

How do I set custom dimentions to my videos? In WordPress 4.2 you cab double click the embedded video to set max width and max height dimentions. It will add the WordPress [embed] shortcode:

[embed width="600" height="400"]https://coub.com/view/4211j[/embed]

Note: Doing it the WordPress way, using the [embed] shortcode, is backwards and forward compatible, and it works with all the themes.
