What is the CSS for the videoWrapper div?
A little trick I like to do is to wrap the video in a div like below:
<div class="video-wrap">
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</div>
And add some css to the 'video-wrap' div.
.video-wrap {
display: table;
margin: auto;
}

.videocontainer {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
width: 100%;
}

16,157 PointsHey! here is a more simpler version of centering your player. When you inspect your HTML, you will see a div with a class mejs__container applied to video and audio tags. Media element makes both video and audio div tags. You can use this mejs__container class to center your player.
.mejs__container {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 32,191 PointsYou should actually target .mejs_player and .mejs_player and use margin: 0 auto; to center the 2 elements.
