I've managed to simplify the responsiveness of this without defining the iframe specifically and just embeding based off how twitch.tv reccomends using the script.

const options = {
    channel: "CHANNEL NAME HERE",
    height: 576, // whatever your height should be for your aspect ratio this ultimate gets overridden by the css
    width: '100%',
    layout: 'video',
    parent: ['localhost'] // put your URL here
};
const twitchPlayer = new Twitch.Embed("twitch-video", options);```

then use this css
```css 
  #twitch-video iframe {
    height: 100%;
    aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;
}
