Questions
Frequently asked
Can I autoplay the video?
Yes, with the mute option enabled — browsers require muted playback to autoplay. You can also leave it click-to-play with a poster image.
Does it support YouTube and Vimeo?
Yes. Paste a hosted video URL, or upload a file directly to Shopify for self-hosted playback.
