Shopify themes, liquid, logos, and UX
Hello I am using Ira theme and I would like to autoplay this video in my product page, however it is not playing and is showing as a static image. How do I solve this?

Hello! How did you solve this?
Found the solution.
Add
autoplay: true,
to where line 73 is in my screenshot in the media.liquid file.
Also be sure to add:
.theme-gallery .product-media--frame .plyr.plyr__tab-focus::after, .theme-gallery .product-media--frame model-viewer.focus-visible::after {
box-shadow: none !important;
}
At the bottom of your style.css file for disabling the outline on the video.
Is there a solution for this within the Dawn theme? Trying to upload a short video clip into the product images section and I want it to autoplay, loop and be on mute.
did you ever get a solution? i am alson trying to autoplay my product video
Hey @rfaustine and @Fourthstyles450 - just wanted to highlight like in my above post that the videos need to be muted by default. That's either got to be on the element it's self:
<video muted> </video>
or, in the case of Youtube, you can also specify that parameter in the URL you are requesting itself:
"__your_url_here__/__video's_id_will_be_here__?&mute=1".
hey thanks but where do i put this code?
So, it depends on what theme you have/where you need this to happen. Are you on Dawn? @Fourthstyles450
yes we are Dawn. so here is a sample site where I have seen it done. Notice the last product image how it automatically plays as you scroll down.
@rfaustine @Fourthstyles450
So I've seen where this is in your base Dawn theme.
In the code editor view, you go to the snippets folder on the left hand side > then to product-media.liquid.
You will see a block like:
<template>
{%- case media.media_type -%}
{%- when 'external_video' -%}
{%- assign video_class = 'js-' | append: media.host -%}
{%- if media.host == 'youtube' -%}
{{ media | external_video_url: autoplay: true, loop: loop, playlist: media.external_id | external_video_tag: class: video_class, loading: "lazy" }}
{%- else -%}
{{ media | external_video_url: autoplay: true, loop: loop | external_video_tag: class: video_class, loading: "lazy" }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- when 'video' -%}
{{ media | media_tag: image_size: "2048x", autoplay: true, loop: loop, controls: true, preload: "none" }}
{%- when 'model' -%}
{{ media | media_tag: image_size: "2048x", toggleable: true }}
{%- endcase -%}
</template>
You need to insert the "muted: true" into that list. So these:
external_video_url: autoplay: true, loop: loop, playlist: media.external_id
become this:
external_video_url: muted: true, autoplay: true, loop: loop, playlist: media.external_id
Then your videos should play automatically. You'll have to do that for every instance in that file where there is a list that includes autoplay, loop, etc. There's three in the snippet above I provided, but your file may be edited slightly depending on if you've had custom work done or not.
Hi, I have also been trying to do this and thank you so much for giving your amazing answer. It has worked brilliantly on desktop but not on mobile. Am I right that my block code should be..
<template>
{%- case media.media_type -%}
{%- when 'external_video' -%}
{%- assign video_class = 'js-' | append: media.host -%}
{%- if media.host == 'youtube' -%}
{{ media | external_video_url: muted: true, autoplay: true, loop: loop, playlist: media.external_id | external_video_tag: class: video_class, loading: "lazy" }}
{%- else -%}
{{ media | external_video_url: muted: true, autoplay: true, loop: loop, playlist: media.external_id }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- when 'video' -%}
{{ media | media_tag: image_size: "2048x", muted: true, autoplay: true, loop: loop, controls: true, preload: "none" }}
{%- when 'model' -%}
{{ media | media_tag: image_size: "2048x", toggleable: true }}
{%- endcase -%}
</template>
I have added the muted: true three times. I would be so grateful for your help if possible and a massive thank you 🙂 My product page is https://giveyourselfkindness.com/products/the-give-yourself-kindness-journal. Thank you 🙂
Hello,
It works on the desktop. But on mobile, it doesn't work. The code says: "external_video_url" how about "internal_video_url" I mean upload video to Shopify File. Thank you.
Hi, i dont have a media.liquid file in my kalles theme, did you create your own
Does this also work on the Sense theme if not how do I get it to work?
Hi! Thank you for sharing. Where do I add code to put a video on Autoplay on the Craft theme?
Also want to drop here just in case it helps someone that in many/most modern browsers, they have limited autoplay to videos that are also muted by default. This is what was tripping me up just now. Any video that you want to autoplay should be muted by default in most browsers.
Does anyone know if this is possible with the Spark Theme? I would like some product videos vs photos to display on my product page. I tried to follow the directions for the Dawn theme, to no avail. Please assist if you can. Thanks!
Unfortunately @Miss_HSC, I don't think the developers that sell the Spark theme let that codebase be public, so I can't see where it is. You'd be better off seeking support for where to make an edit like this in the codebase from them.
Thank you - will do.
Dawn theme as well...this didn't work but I'm also hosting video on my shopify url..so I'm thinking thus it's not an "external host/url"
Hello,
I've added the .liquid file code of my product details page below. In that, I have added certain videos that I would like to autoplay rather than having the user click on the play button. Is there any way to do that? Please guide.
Thank you.

Renders a product media gallery. Should be used with 'media-gallery.js'
Also see 'product-media-modal'
Accepts:
- product: {Object} Product liquid object
- variant_images: {Array} Product images associated with a variant
- is_duplicate: {Boolean} Prevents rendering uneeded elements and duplicate ids for subsequent instances
Usage:
