Struggling to create responsive embedded videos?

https://i.sstatic.net/R0GUn.jpgI have successfully created a responsive video, but there seems to be an issue with the width to height ratio when the browser is fully stretched. The iframe appears narrow and tall in this situation. However, when the browser is resized and the video moves below the text, the ratio corrects itself. How can I ensure that the ratio remains consistent in the stretched browser? Here is the code I am using:

.video-responsive {
  overflow: hidden;
  padding-bottom: 56.25%;
  position: relative;
  height: 0;
}

.video-responsive iframe {
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  position: absolute;
}
<section class="section1">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-md-6 section1Text">
        <h2 class="text-center">What We Have to Offer</h2>
        <p class="text-center">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean vel massa iaculis, posuere augue et, pharetra ipsum. Suspendisse metus ex, pellentesque id dolor in, vehicula varius tortor. Nam auctor ante nisi.</p>
      </div>
      <div class="video-responsive">
        <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bsY2GdBEvSA?showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
      </div>
    </div>

Answer №1

I'm interested in learning how to align a video next to text on the right within the same row.

You can achieve this layout by adding display: flex; to your row class div and setting the flex-direction to row.

How can I maintain the aspect ratio of the video when resizing the browser window?

EDIT:
For filling the container while preserving the dimensions of your iframe, use display: flex on the .video-responsive div and set flex-basis: 100%; on the iframe:

.row {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  background: hotpink;
}

.video-responsive {
  flex-basis: 50%;
  min-height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  background: teal;
}

.video-responsive iframe {
  flex-basis: 100%;
}

.section1Text {
  flex-basis: 50%;
}
<section class="section1">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-md-6 section1Text">
        <h2 class="text-center">What We Have to Offer</h2>
        <p class="text-center">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean vel massa iaculis, posuere augue et, pharetra ipsum. Suspendisse metus ex, pellentesque id dolor in, vehicula varius tortor. Nam auctor ante nisi.</p>
      </div>
      <div class="video-responsive">
        <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bsY2GdBEvSA?showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</section>
Note that the video dimensions have been removed from the HTML for reference purposes.

Here is a comprehensive guide to CSS Flexbox.

Hope that helps clarify things :)
