To scale a video size to fit an iframe, you can adjust the dimensions of the iframe to match the aspect ratio of the video. Here are the steps to do this:

  1. Determine the aspect ratio of the video: To do this, divide the width of the video by the height. For example, if the video has a width of 640 pixels and a height of 360 pixels, the aspect ratio would be 640/360 = 1.77.
  2. Adjust the dimensions of the iframe: Set the width of the iframe to the desired size, and then calculate the height based on the aspect ratio of the video. For example, if you want the width of the iframe to be 560 pixels, you would calculate the height as follows: 560 / 1.77 = 316 pixels.
  3. Update the iframe code to include the new dimensions: Replace the existing width and height values in the iframe code with the new dimensions that you calculated in step 2.


By following these steps, you can scale the video size to fit the iframe while maintaining the correct aspect ratio.
