How can I show a video on desktop in Webflow without it going beyond the boundaries of the designated div?

To show a video within a designated div on desktop in Webflow without it going beyond the boundaries, you can follow these steps:

1. Place a div block on the page: Start by adding a div block where you want the video to be displayed. You can drag and drop a div block from the elements panel or create a new section/div element.

2. Adjust the size and position of the div: Resize and position the div block to fit the desired area on the web page. Set a fixed width and height for the div to ensure it stays within the specified boundaries. You can adjust the dimensions by selecting the div and using the size and position controls in the top panel.

3. Add an embed element: Inside the div block, add an embed element to embed the video. You can do this by dragging and dropping the embed element from the add panel or by typing "embed" in the element search bar.

4. Paste the video embed code: Obtain the video embed code from your preferred video hosting platform (such as YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia). Copy the code and paste it into the embed element's code field. Make sure to include the full embed code provided by the platform.

5. Apply styling: To prevent the video from overflowing beyond the div boundaries, you can add CSS styling. Select the div container and go to the styles panel. Apply the following styles to the div:

- Overflow: set overflow property to "hidden". This will hide any content that extends beyond the div's boundaries.
- Positioning: adjust the position property to "relative" or "absolute", depending on your layout needs.
- Any additional styling: You can further customize the div by applying background colors, borders, padding, or other styles.

By following these steps, your video will be contained within the designated div without overflowing beyond its boundaries on desktop devices. Remember to preview and test your design across various screen sizes to ensure it remains responsive.
