Set up featured media block
The featured media appears beside the collection products. By default, the section displays the Featured image block. You can delete this block to add the Featured video block instead.
Featured image block
Upload images for both desktop and mobile, add an image overlay, and add headings and a button.
STEPS
In your theme editor (Customize):
Under Featured collection with media, click Featured image block to open the settings.
Select an Image
There are no required images dimensions. We simply recommend images have a minimum width of 2500px for optimal quality across all devices.
(Optional.) Upload a Mobile image to show only on mobile devices.
You can use an alternate image to accommodate for re-sizing, cropping, and overlay text on mobile screens. For example, you might use an image with a portrait orientation instead of landscape.
For the Media fit, choose to Fill the entire block with your image or Contain the image within the block to display its original shape.
The Fill option may crop the edges of your image to show it full-sized. The Contain option avoids any cropping by re-sizing the image to fit within the block.
If the media fit is set to Fill, select an Image focal point to specify the main focus of your image and avoid unwanted cropping when the section adapts to different screen sizes.
Select From image to use the focal point set for the image when used anywhere on your store. To change the focal point, click the Edit button on the preview of the uploaded Image. To set the focal point of the image for only this section, select Center, Top, Bottom, Left, or Right.
Choose to add a Background link to make the entire image a clickable link that points to a different page.
In the section settings, you can change the position, height, and width of the featured media.
Click Save.
Featured video block
Display an autoplay video (without audio) as the section media. Add the Featured image block, set the Video focal point, and choose to add a Background link to the entire video.
The background video requires .mp4 video file. For the best experience, we strongly recommend using a 5 to 10 second video under 10MB.
