Is it possible to make the Youtube videos inside the Webflow video widget responsive and scale down when the screen size is reduced? Should they be set to flex in order to achieve this?
To make YouTube videos inside the Webflow video widget responsive and scale down when the screen size is reduced, you don't need to set them to flex. Webflow's video widget is already designed to be responsive out of the box. However, there are a few steps you can follow to ensure that your videos scale down correctly:
Add the video widget to your Webflow project: Drag and drop the video widget onto your page where you want the YouTube video to appear.
Configure the video widget: Double-click on the video widget to open its settings. In the settings panel, you'll see a field where you can paste the YouTube video URL.
Adjust the video dimensions: By default, the video widget is set to a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is the standard for YouTube videos. You can adjust the dimensions of the widget to fit your design by selecting it and adjusting the width and height in the settings panel.
Set the video to responsive: By default, the video widget is set to "Responsive" mode, which means that the video will automatically scale down to fit the container it is placed in when the screen size is reduced. You don't need to make any additional changes to achieve this responsiveness.
Test and preview: Once you've added the YouTube video and configured the video widget, it's important to test its responsiveness on different screen sizes. You can use Webflow's built-in preview feature to see how the video behaves on different devices, or you can publish your site and view it on different devices to ensure that the video scales down correctly.
With these steps, you can make YouTube videos inside the Webflow video widget responsive and ensure that they scale down when the screen size is reduced. There's no need to set them to flex, as the responsiveness is built-in to the video widget.
