Video
Embed a video with an optional heading and text above it. Works with YouTube, Vimeo, and videos you upload to Shopify.
What it looks like
Here's the video section alongside its settings in the theme editor. The left panel shows the settings you'll see in Customize, and the right shows the result on your storefront.

Tips
- For background-style videos (no audio, atmospheric), turn on autoplay and loop. For product demos or tutorials, leave autoplay off so visitors choose when to watch.
