Block Video

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.

See video section examples here, here, or here.

From the Shopify theme editor, click on Video on the sidebar to view the details of settings.
