Embed Video#

To embed a video with a specific aspect ratio, use an iframe with src pointing to the link of the video.

Pass the maxWidth prop to AspectRatio to control the width of the content.

// This video will have equal sides
<AspectRatio maxW="560px" ratio={1}>
  <iframe
    title="naruto"
    src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QhBnZ6NPOY0"
    allowFullScreen
  />
</AspectRatio>

Embed Image#

<AspectRatio maxW="400px" ratio={4 / 3}>
  <Image src="https://bit.ly/naruto-sage" alt="naruto" objectFit="cover" />
</AspectRatio>

Embed a map#

Here's how to embed a responsive Google map using AspectRatio. To make the map take up the entire width, we can ignore the maxWidth prop.
