How can I make my Vimeo video cover the full div in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Set the div block's width and height to 100% for full coverage.
  • Embed the Vimeo video using the Embed element and adjust its width and height to 100%.
  • Use CSS to style the embed with Position as Absolute and Full, and set Width and Height to 100%.
  • Add custom CSS to prevent overflow and maintain aspect ratio with object-fit: cover; and overflow: hidden;.
  • Test responsiveness in different screen sizes to ensure full div coverage.

To ensure that a Vimeo video covers the full div in Webflow, you can follow these steps to adjust the video and container settings: 

​

1. Prepare Your Div Block

  • Select or create the div block where you want the video to play.
  • Set the div's width and height to fixed dimensions or 100% for full coverage (e.g., width: 100%, height: 100vh).

​

2. Embed the Vimeo Video

  • Get your Vimeo video link from the Vimeo platform.
  • In Webflow, use the Embed element from the Add Elements panel.
  • Insert the Vimeo embed code, but make sure to adjust the width and height to 100% within the code.

​

3. Style the Embed for Full Coverage

  • Use CSS to style the embed. Go to the Styles panel and make sure the following settings are applied:
  • Position: Set to Absolute and choose Full to cover the entire div.
  • Width and Height: Set both to 100%.

​

4. Prevent Overflow and Maintain Aspect Ratio

  • Add custom CSS to the embed or page settings to prevent the video from overflowing its container and to maintain the aspect ratio:
  • Include properties like object-fit: cover; and overflow: hidden; if needed.

​

5. Test Responsiveness

  • Preview the changes in different screen sizes using Webflow’s responsive tools to ensure the video still covers the div appropriately.

​

Summary

By embedding your Vimeo video within a styled div block and using responsive design strategies, you can ensure the video covers the full div area effectively. Adjust container settings, use CSS for full coverage, and test across devices for best results.
