You can Use this i hope it works for you :)

 This is html code :

SOLVED

I had same issue for width in IE: the solution i found is removing the additional custom css applied over the <video> tag.

This much code should work:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<body>

<video width="100%" height="" autoplay>
  <source src="http://sawyerfirm.ignitte.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Girl-Riding-In-Car-8-BW.mp4" type="video/mp4">  
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

</body>

</html>

Then try to remove any additional class/style applied over/inside your tag

On IE set height to auto for video.

On Other Browsers:

.video {

    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;

    /* HTML video tag */
    &__player, video {

        position: absolute;
        left: 0;
        top: 0;
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
        object-fit: cover; /* IE not work */
    }
}

On IE:

.video {

    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;

    /* HTML video tag */
    &__player, video {

        position: absolute;
        left: 0;
        top: 0;
        width: 100%;
        height: auto; /* IE change to auto */
    }
}

And the HTML:

<div class="video">
    <video class="video__player" width="400" muted loop>
        <source src="XXX" type="video/mp4">
        Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
    </video>
</div>

Solution 5

object-fit: cover is not supported by IE. Use the following library, acts as a fallback for IE :

I am designing a website that uses a self-hosted background video in a 100% width container. Works flawlessly in Chrome and Firefox but fails miserably in IE (tested in IE 11).

The video is supposed to stretch width-wise to fill the container - maintaining the video proportions, however, IE simply places the video in the container at the size necessary to fill the container vertically.
