Populating a bootstrap grid with dynamic video content to enhance the visual appeal

I am currently working on a website grid that showcases new announcements and blog posts. In the design, I have a large column (col-sm-8 taking up 2/3 of the page) where I would like to include an introductory video to showcase our work.

Despite trying various methods such as embedding YouTube videos and going through tutorials online, I am struggling to get the video to play seamlessly in the background. The image linked below illustrates my issue more clearly: https://i.sstatic.net/fSfSA.jpg

Any assistance or guidance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Answer №1

Trying to fit a YouTube video, or any video for that matter, into that small space won't work well. I recommend adjusting the size of the designated area to better accommodate the video.

Answer №2

Check out this dynamic youtube embed code that adjusts to various screen sizes. The width and height were preset by youtube, leaving you to customize the rest of your webpage layout.

/* Adaptable Embedded Video */
 
.flexible-container {
    position: relative;
    padding-bottom: 56.25%;
    padding-top: 30px;
    height: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
}
 
.flexible-container iframe,   
.flexible-container object,  
.flexible-container embed {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}
<!-- Responsive Embedded Video -->
<div class="flexible-container">
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FSvNhxKJJyU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
