Responsive Video

- YouTube is good if you want the video to be public ( added marketing? ) and if you want free video hosting.  You can also make the video hidden.
Downside is, no player styling and it generally wants to show "related videos" at the end.

- Vimeo is better for control of the player, and better video quality, but costs per month.

- If you don't care, you can dropbox/gdrive the video to me in MP4 format and I can host it on Cloudflare R2 for free.

Note there may be a slight delay since people would download the entire MP4 before playing it, but it likely won't be too large, and I can optimize it.

By comparison, Vimeo encodes it so that it will start playing pretty much instantly.

Surround the video iframe in a DIV;



Then add this custom CSS;
