- Add following to your
gatsby-config.js
:
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
resolve: "gatsby-transformer-remark",
options: {
plugins: [
{
resolve: "gatsby-remark-embed-video",
options: {
width: 800,
ratio: 1.77, // Optional: Defaults to 16/9 = 1.77

},
"gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe", //Optional: Must be loaded after gatsby-remark-embed-video
},
],
},
},
],
};
Make the iFrame Responsive
I would recommend the plugin gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe
Install it with npm i gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe
When using this plugin you must ensure that in the sequence of plugins gatsby-remark-embed-video
runs before gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe
.
Troubleshooting
if you also rely on gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe
, gatsby-remark-images
, or gatsby-remark-prismjs
, you have to define the embed-youtube plugin first:
plugins: [
"gatsby-remark-embed-video",
"gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe",
"gatsby-remark-prismjs",
"gatsby-remark-images"
]
