To embed YouTube videos into your Webflow page using the video element, you can follow these steps:

Get the YouTube video URL: First, you need to find the URL of the YouTube video you want to embed. Visit the video on YouTube and copy its URL from the address bar of your browser.
Go to your Webflow project: Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the specific project you want to add the video to.
Drag and drop the video element: In the Webflow Designer, open the specific page where you want to embed the video. From the elements panel on the left, locate and drag the video element onto your page.
Add the video URL: With the video element selected, you will see a settings panel on the right. Paste the YouTube video URL you copied earlier into the Source field.
Adjust video settings: Webflow provides various options to customize the appearance and behavior of the embedded video. You can adjust settings like autoplay, loop, controls, and more according to your preference.
Publish or preview your changes: Once you've finished customizing the video settings, you can either preview your changes to see how the video looks on your page or publish your Webflow project to make it live on the web.
Check responsiveness: It's crucial to ensure that the embedded video appears correctly on different devices and screen sizes. Test the responsiveness of your video by previewing it on various devices or using the responsive design mode in your browser.
