To change default attributes globally for specific resource you should pass an array of attributes to `setAttributes()` method. To get current default HTML attributes of specific resource use `getAttributes()` method. There are a few attributes by default: ``` [ 'width' => 560, 'height' => 315, 'src' => '', // hold position for specific order 'frameborder' => 0, 'allowfullscreen' => null, ]; ``` > **NOTE:** The `src` attribute is only required for building embed HTML code and will be injected automatically by calling `buildEmbedUrl()` method behind the scenes. So every given `src` value to `buildEmbedCode()` or `setAttributes()` will be ignoring and replacing with correct URL for current resource. You could give it like in example above to point its position in HTML code.
