Using The width Property #

If the width property is set to 100%, the video player will be responsive and scale up and down:

Example video { width: 100%; height: auto; }

Notice that in the example above, the video player can be scaled up to be larger than its original size. A better solution, in many cases, will be to use the max-width property instead.

Using The max-width Property #

If the max-width property is set to 100%, the video player will scale down if it has to, but never scale up to be larger than its original size:

Example #

video { max-width: 100%; height: auto; }

Add a Video to the Example Web Page #

We want to add a video in our example web page. The video will be resized to always take up all the available space:

Example #

video { width: 100%; height: auto; }
