Hi @lucyhickey99
Shopify doesn’t allow direct uploading of MP4 videos into blog posts. The “embed snippet” box is designed to accept an embed code from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo, not raw video files.
If you really want to use your MP4 file, you can upload it to Shopify Files and get a URL, but that will only allow visitors to download the file — not play it directly in the blog post. For actual playback, you’ll need to upload the video to YouTube or Vimeo, then paste the embed code into the snippet box.
If you'd like, I can guide you on how to do this step-by-step — or even help with a custom theme solution (but that requires theme file editing).
