Theme section
Theme retirement | Context is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. Learn more here.
The Video section embeds a video uploaded to Shopify, YouTube, or Vimeo. Customers can click to play longer videos with sound about your store and products.
For autoplaying background videos (without sound), see the Video hero, Mosaic grid, and Image with text sections.
Set up section
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.
Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can create new templates or insert dynamic content with metafields.
Add video URL
The Video section displays videos hosted on YouTube or Vimeo. Upload a video to YouTube or Vimeo and add the video URL in the theme editor.
Add image overlay
You can replace the default video player with a custom preview image and a simple play button. This will keep your page looking sleek and tidy.
