Hi, we use an embedded form (exported as raw HTML for styling purposes) with CAPTCHA enabled. And while CAPTCHA is invisible it still has a height of 60px that creates unwanted white space.  
I could easily remove it with some CSS, but it it safe to do so or will it cause any issues when user is prompted to resolve it?  
Also, why does it have a height in the first place? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Don’t completely remove it. Just use CSS to remove the _height_. It’s likely the theme/template you’re using has a height set for the class .input.

```lia-code-sample
.hs-recaptcha .input {
 height: 0;
}

```

That turned out to be the case! Thank you.

Hi, Following up to this question - I want to replace the reCAPTCHA with the disclaimer text -is there a way I can do this in the Form section or would it need to be a custom form or just add a text box with disclaimer under the form?  
Based on the Google dev guidelines you need to include the privacy/term links

`.grecaptcha-badge { visibility: hidden; }`
