How to Get Rid of YouTube Player Black Bars
When embedding YouTube videos into a webpage, getting rid of the black bars and creating a fully responsive player can be confusing.
Suppose I have this <iframe> wrapped inside a <div>.
<div class="videoContainer">
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1tofEyT8Jg"></iframe>
</div>
We can style .videoContainer and .player like so.
.videoContainer {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
padding-bottom: 56.25%;
}
.videoContainer iframe {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
border: 0;
}
We want 56.25% for padding-bottom because it corresponds to a 16:9 aspect ratio (9 / 16 = 0.5625).
This will give us a responsive YouTube player free of black bars.
