Video

The Video section allows you to add a pre-existing video, either uploaded directly to your Shopify store or linked from YouTube or Vimeo.

Users can click on the section to play the video with sound, enhancing the immersive experience for brand or product storytelling. This section is ideal for sharing impactful video content, such as brand stories, product demonstrations, or customer testimonials.
