## Description

## About This Component

YouTube Fit Cover allows you to display any YouTube video as a perfectly responsive cover inside your layouts.

Unlike standard embeds, the video automatically adapts to the container using a true **fit cover behavior**, ensuring a clean, edge-to-edge result with **no black bars**, regardless of the aspect ratio.

It works seamlessly for **hero backgrounds, sections, or custom layouts**, and supports both standard YouTube videos and Shorts.

## YouTube Behavior

To achieve a true **fit cover behavior**, the YouTube player is resized beyond its default proportions.

Because of this, YouTube does not display its controls correctly, so the player UI (title, controls, progress bar) is hidden.

The component is designed for **immersive background usage**, where the video plays as a visual layer rather than an interactive player.
