[twitter-bootstrap] Responsive iframe using Bootstrap

I am using Bootstrap.

I have a text which contains 2 or 3 iframes based embed videos.

This data is fetched from database.

How can I make these iframes responsive?

Example Code:

<div class="row">

   <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12">

     SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT
     SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT

     <iframe src="http://youtube.com/...."></iframe>

     SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT
     SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT

     <iframe src="http://youtube.com/...."></iframe>


     SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT
     SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT SOME TEXT

     <iframe src="http://youtube.com/...."></iframe> 

   </div>

</div>

This is a dynamic data. How can I make it responsive?

Option 3

To update current iframe

$("iframe").wrap('<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9"/>');
$("iframe").addClass('embed-responsive-item');

Option 1

With Bootstrap 3.2 you can wrap each iframe in the responsive-embed wrapper of your choice:

http://getbootstrap.com/components/#responsive-embed

<!-- 16:9 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
  <iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="…"></iframe>
</div>

<!-- 4:3 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-4by3">
  <iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="…"></iframe>
</div>

Option 2

If you don't want to wrap your iframes, you can use FluidVids https://github.com/toddmotto/fluidvids. See demo here: http://toddmotto.com/labs/fluidvids/

   <!-- fluidvids.js -->
    <script src="js/fluidvids.js"></script>
    <script>
    fluidvids.init({
      selector: ['iframe'],
      players: ['www.youtube.com', 'player.vimeo.com']
    });
    </script>

The best solution that worked great for me.

You have to: Copy this code to your main CSS file,

.responsive-video {
    position: relative;
    padding-bottom: 56.25%;
    padding-top: 60px; overflow: hidden;
}

.responsive-video iframe,
.responsive-video object,
.responsive-video embed {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

and then put your embeded video to

<div class="responsive-video">
    <iframe ></iframe>
</div>

That’s it! Now you can use responsive videos on your site.


So, youtube gives out the iframe tag as follows:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2EIeUlvHAiM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

In my case, i just changed it to width="100%" and left the rest as is. It's not the most elegant solution (after all, in different devices you'll get weird ratios) But the video itself does not get deformed, just the frame.


Working during August 2020

use this

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

use one aspect ratio

<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-4by3">
  <iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="…"></iframe>
</div>

within iframe use options

 <iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="..."
  frameborder="0"
    style="
      overflow: hidden;
      overflow-x: hidden;
      overflow-y: hidden;
      height: 100%;
      width: 100%;
      position: absolute;
      top: 0px;
      left: 0px;
      right: 0px;
      bottom: 0px;
    "
    height="100%"
    width="100%"
  ></iframe>
