I'm trying to figure out the best solution for embedding/displaying various types of "media" in a custom Lightning Component. The media could be various file types but would typically be video or images. The media itself is accessed through a public URL, as the media file is stored outside of Salesforce in a variety of systems. An object has been created so that each "media" file has it's own record in Salesforce, with a field for the URL. This object is a child of the parent Account object. The ultimate goal is to then display the related "media" in a custom Lightning Component on the Account lightning record detail page. I've started by passing the URL from the field value into an iframe but obviously, this has its issues.

Is there a better way to go about displaying this "media" in a custom Lightning Component? If not, are there any tricks for improving the responsiveness of an iframe?
