Properly embedding Youtube video into bootstrap 3 0 page

Question

I need to embed a YouTube video into my responsive site but it s not scaling correctly  especially on mobile   It looks fine on desktop and tablets but once you get below a viewport width of 600  the video breaks its container  To view the whole video on mobile you need to pinch out to a point that the rest of the content only fills about 1 2 the screen vertically  Not so good    I want the text content to be 1 3 wide and the video to be 2 3 wide on desktop and tablets and stacked on mobile with the video and content both 100  of the viewport width  I ve tried using width  100   on the iframe but then the height doesn t scale correctly as you resize and the video either gets stretched or squished    I also need to do it with CSS only as i m simply laying my stylesheets over stock bootstrap 3 0   Here s my code     lt div class  container  gt                           lt div class  row  gt                   lt div class  col-sm-4  gt Content  This is content  it is not meant to be read or understood  Something random goes here  it can be whatever you want  it s just blankish content provided so that it fills up some space  pretty boring huh  lt  div gt                   lt div class  col-sm-8  gt                      lt iframe width  600  height  338  src  http   www youtube com embed KgMt0dtr4Vc  frameborder  0  allowfullscreen gt  lt  iframe gt                   lt  div gt    lt  div gt

Have a think about wrapping the videos inside something which you can make flexible via bootsrap   The bootstrap is not a magic tool  its just a layout engine  You almost have it in your example   Just use the grid provided by bootstrap and remove strict sizing s on the iframe  Use the bootstrap class guides for the grid    For example    lt iframe class  col-lg-2 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12  gt    You will see how the class of the iframe will change then given your resolution   A Fiddel too   http   jsfiddle net RsSAT

It also depend on how you style your site with bootstrap  In my example  I am using col-md-12 for my video div  and add class col-sm-12 for the iframe  so when resize to smaller screen  the video will not view squeezed  I add also height to the iframe    lt div class  col-md-12  gt   lt iframe class  col-sm-12  height  333  frameborder  0  wmode  Opaque  allowfullscreen    src  https   www youtube com embed oqDRPoPDehE wmode transparent  gt   lt  div gt
