Tips for creating a responsive Youtube embedded video

Check out this website for a good example:

If you take a look, you'll notice that the header youtube video is responsive - it automatically resizes when the window size changes. Here are the <iframe> codes:

<iframe id="bluetube-player-1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1" title="YouTube video player" width="944" height="531" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F1jpCBPiWS4?showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=http%3A%2F%2Fzh.gopro.com" style="width: 1125px; height: 633px; left: 0px; top: -158.5px; position: relative;">

</iframe>

I noticed that the width, height, and style attributes are all responsive on this page. However, I couldn't figure out how the author achieved this (is it through CSS or JS?).. I attempted to search using bluetube in jQuery but still couldn't grasp how it's done..

Does anyone have any insights on this?

Answer №1

The video displayed on the website as an example does not adjust its size responsively, resulting in clipped sides when the window is resized. It appears that the creator may be using a media query to resize the video for smaller screens, like mobile devices.

To achieve responsive video embedding, you can use a container element with an intrinsic aspect ratio and then absolutely position the video within it.

HTML

<div class="videoWrapper">
    <!-- Embedded from YouTube -->
    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ygVQ8R-ZtZA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

CSS

.videoWrapper {
    position: relative;
    padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 ratio */
    padding-top: 25px;
    height: 0;
}
.videoWrapper iframe {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}
