Answer: Insert YouTube Code inside Modal Body
- You can easily embed or place the YouTube video inside a Bootstrap modal like you do on the normal web pages. Just get the code to embed the video from YouTube site and place it inside the .modal-body element. But there is small problem; the YouTube video doesn't stop automatically when you close the modal window. It will still play in the background.
- To solve this problem you can simply toggle the url value of the YouTube's video iframe src attribute dynamically using the jQuery. Here's an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Insert YouTube Video in Bootstrap Modal - Wikitechy</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
.modal-content iframe{
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
/* Get iframe src attribute value i.e. YouTube video url
and store it in a variable */
var url = $("#cartoonVideo").attr('src');
/* Assign empty url value to the iframe src attribute when
modal hide, which stop the video playing */
$("#myModal").on('hide.bs.modal', function(){
$("#cartoonVideo").attr('src', '');
});
/* Assign the initially stored url back to the iframe src
attribute when modal is displayed again */
$("#myModal").on('show.bs.modal', function(){
$("#cartoonVideo").attr('src', url);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="bs-example">
<!-- Button HTML (to Trigger Modal) -->
<a href="#myModal" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" data-toggle="modal">Launch Demo Modal</a>
<!-- Modal HTML -->
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade">
<div class="modal-dialog">

<div class="modal-header">

<div class="modal-body">
