Responsive YouTube embedded in Flex

Question

I tried embedding responsive YouTube and some other content in a Flex container, but the container the YouTube embed is in doesn't grow and so either overlaps or is overlapped by other elements. I'm not sure if I explained it well, so I also made a code and box to demonstrate:

import { Box, Paper } from "@mui/material";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <Box
      sx={{
        display: "flex",
        flexFlow: "column wrap",
        gap: 2,
        maxWidth: "960px"
      }}
    >
      <Box>
        <Paper
          variant="outlined"
          sx={{
            padding: 2
          }}
        >
          <h2>Some content</h2>
          <Box>
            <p>

              maximus at enim in sollicitudin. Nam suscipit tellus sit amet

              auctor ornare lacus auctor ut. Morbi vitae ullamcorper nisi.
              Integer non sagittis erat.

                aspectRatio: "16 / 9"
              }}
            />

  );
}

How can I change it so that the embedded container grows and shrinks with the size of the embedded video? thanks for your help

This is a codesandbox solution.

1. Wrap the iframe in a container with position: "relative" and set its
   Width: "100%" .
2. Set the container's paddingBottom to the desired
   Aspect ratio value expressed as a percentage. For example, for a 16:9 aspect ratio, Use "56.25%" (9 / 16 * 100%).
3. Set iframe to Position: "Absolute", Top: 0, Left: 0, Width: "100%", Height: "100%" .
4. To ensure that the text under the video is not hidden, please set flexFlow: "column",

Here are examples of how to achieve this:
