It seems that using embedded Youtube vids are killing side speed. I was wondering how i could replace the video on homepage on prestige theme with a uploaded video on Shopify itself while saving the exact ux (video can be seen through menu and mobile responsiveness). So basically keeping everything exactly the same as it is but just use an uploaded vid from shopify instead of hosting it on youtube and then use the link..
The website is www.suitsuit.com
@KetanKumar ? 🙂
@JWDMK - you will need to upload your video to files section , which you can find from settings at bottom of shopify admin. This video should not be more than 20MB.
Then you will need to add custom liquid or html section to home page where you want video and then using html video tag you can use uploaded video URL to show video on homepage.
I understand you want to host your video on Shopify instead of Vimeo and YouTube
NOTE: Make sure that you use MP4 video format and your video file is smaller than 20MB
Step 1: Upload your video on the Files page:
Step 2: Add HTML video code to custom HTML section of Prestige theme:
<video style="max-width:100%,height:auto" controls="">
<source src="your_video_url_here" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
Try it and let me know
HI, thanks a lot but this just adds the video to the home page but doesnt give the same experience as the current video. For example the video is seen through the menu etc. compare the two printscreens 🙂
