margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
display:block;

Open in new window

<video width="1000" controls>
  					<source src="media/Permission.mp4" type="video/mp4">

Hi,

you can use a script like https://github.com/videojs/video.js

this will be easier to get it resized / responsive
https://docs.videojs.com/tutorial-layout.html#responsive-mode

Plus don't set a fix width as it won't resized...
You can use a min-width instead...

or you can set your media queries with CSS

display:block;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

You have Bootstrap but you are not using it correctly, you have to use the syntax
check the grid layout and follow one of them
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/layout/grid/

container / row / column

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm">
      One of three columns
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm">
      One of three columns
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm">
      One of three columns
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

You may want to take the time to learn Bootstrap 4 on Udemy there are plenty of free course on that topic
https://www.udemy.com/bootstrap-4-tutorials/

if your video code is outside the grid it won't resized...

What are we looking for?

If I look at the site on a small screen the video resizes - what should I be looking for.

I just figured that out. I thought that once that happened The site would center on the phone but I am still getting horizontal scroll bars for some reason. Any help is appreciated.

video {
    /*margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    display:block;*/
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

Do you get the scroll bars in Mobile emulation
F12
Firefox click the icon on the top right of the dev console that looks like a small portrait rectangle on a larger one
Chrome Top left of dev bar the icon that looks like a phone.

Do you see scroll bars in either of these?

I don't see the scroll bars in Google Chrome Dev. window. But I get them on my actual iphone 6.
