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

TL;DR
  • Set the div block to 100% width and height, and use "flex" or "block" display.
  • Modify the Vimeo embed code with "fullscreen" and "background=1" options.
  • Insert the modified Vimeo code into a Webflow Embed Element and adjust for responsiveness.

To make your Vimeo video cover the full div in Webflow, you need to adjust some settings in both your Webflow project and your Vimeo embed code. Follow these steps:

​

1. Adjust Div Block Settings

  • Select the Div Block where you want the video to appear.
  • Ensure that the Width and Height are set to 100% or custom dimensions that fit your design.
  • Set Display to either Flex or Block depending on your layout.

​

2. Use Vimeo Embed Code with Options

  • Navigate to Vimeo, and copy the embed code for your video.
  • In the embed code, make sure to use the "fullscreen" option to allow full-size viewing.
  • Add the parameter “background=1” to the Vimeo URL within the embed code to ensure the video covers the entire area.

​

3. Embed Vimeo Code in Webflow

  • Add an Embed Element to your div in Webflow.
  • Paste the Vimeo embed code with the adjusted parameters (e.g., “…?background=1&autoplay=1&loop=1”).
  • Save and publish to see the changes live.

​

4. Check and Adjust Responsiveness

  • Preview your site and check if the video covers the entire div across different screen sizes.
  • Adjust styling if necessary, such as using custom CSS within the embed code to ensure consistency.

​

Summary

To make your Vimeo video cover the full div in Webflow, adjust the div dimensions, use a Vimeo embed code with the “background=1” parameter, and insert this code in a Webflow Embed Element. Check responsiveness to ensure it displays properly across devices.
