Are there are libraries out there that easily enable adding a background youtube video to a div?

I've searched over and over and couldn't find anything.

Essentially I want to play a YouTube video as the background for the divs with the images in this screenshot.

$('.canvas .box').YTPlayer({
    fitToBackground: true,
    videoId: '-JlcxL2ux_A'
});

Answer 1

in your mockup the videos have a normal 16:9 aspect ratio, so that's what i went with instead of the squares you initially had. here are the tweaks:
