Humans are visual beings, and product messaging could never be more improved by using helpful visual aid. Adding rich media like images, videos, or 3d visuals clearly helps users understand the product online.

How to add video to product images Shopify

Where to embed/ add the video on the product page?

Method 1: Featured product image section

Shopify allows you to add YouTube videos or native HTML 5 videos directly on your product pages. You can add one or more video on your product page and it will be resized as according to the user device screen size.

In order to embed or add YouTube or Vimeo video, go to images section and upload an image.

Here you can see the ‘ALT’ text link option on product image.

Paste the Vimeo/YouTube video link in the field and press ‘done’.

A small tip here is that, you need an image associated with the video especially if you showcase thumbnails.

Method 2: Product description section

There may be a scenario where your theme may not allow you to add video in product gallery. In such cases, you can use product description section for embedding video.

Here before adding video in product description make sure you are in ‘code view’.
