Add video content to your store
What is the video section?
Videos provide a way to display engaging, promotional and educational media on your store in a way that would be difficult to achieve through static images. Videos can enhance your customers' shopping experience and lead to increased conversion rates.
How set up the video section
Steps
- Open the Theme Editor. Click Add section and add a Video section to the page.
- There are two different methods to choose a video.
Video upload: Select a video file (e.g. an MP4) hosted on your Shopify store.
External video: This is a video from an external link and supports YouTube or Vimeo videos. - Configure the video Overlay. In the Boost theme the overlay is required in order for the play button to be displayed.
- Add a Heading and Text, set the overlay colors, Vertical position and Horizontal position. The overlay can be shown below the image on mobile if desired.
- Add a Custom cover image that will display in the place of the video while the video is loading. This could be due to reasons such as a userโs poor internet connection, limited browser support or slow page load times.
FAQs
How can I get my video to play on loop?
If you require the video to play on loop, then it is recommended to use a Background video section instead of a Video section.
