Add the Video hero section to show a full-width autoplaying video (without sound), uploaded as a .mp4 file to your Shopify files.
If you want to add a Vimeo or YouTube video (with sound), you can use the Video 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.
The Video hero section requires an .mp4
that's been uploaded to Content > Files in your Shopify admin. For the best experience, we strongly recommend using a 5 to 10 second video under 10MB.
The autoplay video does not play audio. To embed a video from YouTube or Vimeo with audio, see Context's Video section.
File size
Maximum 10MB (recommended)
Duration
5 - 10 seconds (recommended)
Edit the Heading and Subheading to overlay the video before playing. The section headings are included as blocks nested within the section.
