+Allow browsers to determine video or slideshow dimensions based on the width of their containing block by creating an intrinsic ratio that will properly scale on any device.
+
+Rules are directly applied to `<iframe>`, `<embed>`, and `<object>` elements; optionally use an explicit descendant class `.embed-responsive-item` when you want to match the styling for other attributes.
+
+**Pro-Tip!** You don't need to include `frameborder="0"` in your `<iframe>`s as we override that for you.
+
+{% example html %}
+<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
+ <iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/zpOULjyy-n8?rel=0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
+</div>

+
+Aspect ratios can be customized. There are two available in Bootstrap, 16x9 and 4x3 (two of the most common for video).
