        ],
      },

export default config;

Configuration Markdown (without MDX)

1. Add following to your gatsby-config.js:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "gatsby-transformer-remark",
      options: {
        plugins: [
          {
            resolve: "gatsby-remark-embed-video",
            options: {
              width: 800,
              ratio: 1.77, // Optional: Defaults to 16/9 = 1.77
              height: 400, // Optional: Overrides optional.ratio
              related: false, //Optional: Will remove related videos from the end of an embedded YouTube video.
              noIframeBorder: true, //Optional: Disable insertion of <style> border: 0
              loadingStrategy: 'lazy', //Optional: Enable support for lazy-load offscreen iframes. Default is disabled.
              urlOverrides: [
                {
                  id: "youtube",
                  embedURL: videoId =>
                    `https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/${videoId}`,
                },
              ], //Optional: Override URL of a service provider, e.g to enable youtube-nocookie support
              containerClass: "embedVideo-container", //Optional: Custom CSS class for iframe container, for multiple classes separate them by space
              iframeId: false, //Optional: if true, iframe's id will be set to what is provided after 'video:' (YouTube IFrame player API requires iframe id)
            },
             "gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe", //Optional: Must be loaded after gatsby-remark-embed-video
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  ],
};

Make the iFrame Responsive

I would recommend the plugin gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe

Install it with npm i gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe

When using this plugin you must ensure that in the sequence of plugins gatsby-remark-embed-video runs before gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe.

Troubleshooting

if you also rely on gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe, gatsby-remark-images, or gatsby-remark-prismjs, you have to define the embed-youtube plugin first:

plugins: [
  "gatsby-remark-embed-video",
  "gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe",
  "gatsby-remark-prismjs",
  "gatsby-remark-images"
]
