Centering iframe div

When coding an iframe to resize with the screen I cannot center it. I tried all the responses from THIS question but had no luck. Am I missing something obvious or is there no way to do this?

HTML

<div class="videoWrap">
    <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/playlist?list=PLn0iVeY0xhgZvWDQ1K_6EChZe_4TL5zDZ"></iframe>
</div>

CSS

.videoWrap {
    position: relative;
    padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */
    padding-top: 25px;
    height: 0;
}
.videoWrap iframe {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 80%;
    height: 100%;
}

Using the question you linked... 

.videoWrap {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.videoWrap iframe {
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
}

div, body, html {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}
<div class="videoWrap">
  <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/playlist?list=PLn0iVeY0xhgZvWDQ1K_6EChZe_4TL5zDZ"></iframe>
</div>

Use left: 50% and transform: translateX(-50%):

.videoWrap {
    position: relative;
    padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */
    padding-top: 25px;
    height: 0;
}
.videoWrap iframe {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
    width: 80%;
    height: 100%;
}

In my example I am centering the wrapper element horizontally and vertically with the usual settings (position: absolute` is applied here), and also defining the width and height here. The video itself simply fills the centered wrapper.

html, body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
}

.videoWrap {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  /* 16:9 */
  width: 80vw;
  height: 45vw;
}

.videoWrap iframe {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}
<div class="videoWrap">
  <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/playlist?list=PLn0iVeY0xhgZvWDQ1K_6EChZe_4TL5zDZ"></iframe>
</div>

You can try applying margin: auto; css property to your div. https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_align.asp
