How to make youtube video background cover in full section

Question

I'm doing a section with Youtube video background and so far the video is working fine, but I found no way to make the video background to cover in full section, for whatever screen size view, the background should not see the black-side in between the video, as attached screenshot, how to get rid of those black-side by expand the video without change the height of the section? can anyone lighten me how to deal with the code below?

#story .videoBg {
    position: relative;
    height: 700px;
}

#story .videoFg, #story .videoBg iframe {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    pointer-events: none;
    overflow: hidden;
    z-index: -99;
}

#story .overlay {
    position: absolute;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    z-index: 1;
}

.videoBg .subTxt { 
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    margin: auto;
    width: 50%;
    height: 50%;
    color: #FFF;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
    z-index: 2;
}


<section id="story" class="main story">
    <div>
        <div class="videoBg text-center">
            <div class="videoFg">
                <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ab0TSkLe-E0?version=3&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;autoplay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;mute=1&amp;playlist=ab0TSkLe-E0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

@MeghnaBhuptani, yes I did, that one is for full screen cover but what I want is just limited in the section — Nanny Boy, Dec 03 '19 at 06:11

Try this to replace #story .videoFg, #story .videoBg iframe

#story .videoFg{
 overflow: hidden;
    padding-bottom: 56.25%;
    position: relative;
    height: 0;
}
#story .videoBg iframe {
      left: 0;
    top: 0;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    position: absolute;

}

You can achieve it by adding below css

* {padding:0;margin:0;box-sizing:border-box;}

.videoFg {
    position: relative;
    padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */
    height: 0 !important;
}
.videoFg iframe {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
}

#story .videoFg, #story .videoBg iframe {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    pointer-events: none;
    overflow: hidden;
    z-index: -99;
}

#story .overlay {
    position: absolute;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    z-index: 1;
}
