Overview

The Video section makes it easy to add horizontally and vertically oriented videos to your page. You can upload your videos or insert the video URLs.

For the vertical videos (for the Pro plan only), you can add Tiktok, YouTube Shorts, Vimeo, Instagram Reels.

It's great to feature product launch videos, featured announcements, UGC and unboxing videos, customer reviews, etc.

How to add Video section

In this special section, you can specify multi-column layouts, activate full width, determine the section's maximum width, choose a background color, and set global margins and padding, among other options.
Note: If you include the Video in the core product information, skip the step for adding Section Settings. Just add the Video. Ecb add section core product info.jpg
