Embed

Determine embedded media dimensions based on the width of their containing block by creating an intrinsic ratio that will scale on any device.

Overview

Rules are directly applied to <iframe>, <embed>, <video>, and <object> elements; optionally use an explicit descendant class .embed-fluid-item when you want to match the styling for other attributes.

Examples

Inline Frames

Pro-Tip! You don't need to include frameborder="0" in your <iframe>s as we override that for you in the Reboot styles.

<div class="embed-fluid embed-fluid-16x9">
  <iframe class="embed-fluid-item" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MbGkL06EU90?rel=0" title="YouTube video" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

Video Element 

<div class="embed-fluid">
  <video poster="/assets/4.4/video/niagara_falls.jpg" controls>
    <source src="/assets/4.4/video/niagara_falls.mp4">
    <track src="/assets/4.4/video/niagara_falls-en.vtt" label="English" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" default>
  </video>
</div>

Aspect Ratios

By default the aspect ratio is set to 16:9, this can be customized by overriding the $embed-ratio settings variable. Also, the aspect ratios can be customized with the included modifier classes. By default the following aspect ratio classes are provided:

<!-- 21:9 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-fluid embed-fluid-21x9">
  <iframe class="embed-fluid-item" src="..."></iframe>
</div>

<!-- 16:9 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-fluid embed-fluid-16x9">
  <iframe class="embed-fluid-item" src="..."></iframe>
</div>

<!-- 4:3 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-fluid embed-fluid-4x3">
  <iframe class="embed-fluid-item" src="..."></iframe>
</div>

<!-- 1:1 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-fluid embed-fluid-1x1">
  <iframe class="embed-fluid-item" src="..."></iframe>
</div>

It is possible to alter the available aspect ratios. These are the default aspect ratio setting and Sass map in _settings.scss:

$embed-fluid-default-ratio: percentage(9 / 16) !default;
$embed-fluid-aspect-ratios: (
  "21x9": (
    x: 21,
    y: 9
  ),
  "16x9": (
    x: 16,
    y: 9
  ),
  "4x3": (
    x: 4,
    y: 3
  ),
  "1x1": (
    x: 1,
    y: 1
  )
);

Additional aspect ratio classes can also be disabled in your custom settings using:

$embed-fluid-aspect-ratios: false;
