Yes, there are multiple methods you can use in Webflow to make videos responsive. Here are three different approaches you can try:

  1. Using the built-in embed component:
  • In Webflow, you can simply add an embed component to your page and paste the video embed code provided by the video platform (such as YouTube or Vimeo) into it.
  • Webflow's embed component automatically adjusts the size of the video based on the container it is placed in, making it responsive by default.
  • You can further customize the styling and positioning of the embed component using Webflow's visual editor.
  1. Using the video element with CSS:
  • In Webflow, you can also use the video element to add videos to your page.
  • Once you've added the video element, you can set its width to 100% using CSS to make it responsive.
  • Additionally, you can set the height to auto to maintain the video's aspect ratio and prevent it from being distorted.
  1. Adding custom CSS:
  • If you require more control over the responsiveness of the video, you can add custom CSS to your Webflow project.
  • First, give the video element a class name in the Webflow Designer.
  • Then, go to the Custom Code tab in the project settings and insert your custom CSS.
  • You can use CSS properties like max-width: 100% and height: auto to make the video responsive.
  • You can also use CSS media queries to apply different styles for different screen sizes, ensuring the video adapts to various devices.

By implementing these methods, you can make videos responsive in Webflow, ensuring that they look great and function properly across different devices and screen sizes.
