I have a YouTube video embedded on our website and when I shrink the screen to tablet or phone sizes it stops shrinking at around 560px in width. Is this standard for YouTube videos or is there something that I can add to the code to make it go smaller?
You can make YouTube videos responsive with CSS. Wrap the iframe in a div with the class of "videowrapper" and apply the following styles:
.videowrapper {
float: none;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 56.25%;
padding-top: 25px;
height: 0;
}
.videowrapper iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
The .videowrapper div should be inside a responsive element. The padding on the .videowrapper is necessary to keep the video from collapsing. You may have to tweak the numbers depending upon your layout.
