Add an MP4 to home page of Crave platform

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Goal: Add a 17‑second MP4 video to the home page of the Crave (Shopify) theme.

  • Suggested approach: Use a built‑in Video section or video block via the Theme Customizer. Many themes include this, allowing direct homepage placement.
  • If no video section exists: Create a custom section using HTML/CSS and Liquid (Shopify’s templating language), then add that section to the homepage.

Clarifications:

  • Product media (videos added on product pages) is separate from homepage content and won’t automatically enable a homepage video.
  • Implementation would require either finding the Video section in the Customizer (search for “video”) or editing theme code in the theme code editor to add a custom section.

Status/Next steps:

  • Unresolved. The poster should check the Customizer for a Video section; if absent, proceed with custom coding a video section and then add it to the homepage.

Does the theme not have video section or video blocks. Almost all themes have a video section or a block. In case it does not you will have to create a section with html,css and liquid that lets you add a video block. You can then add that section to your home page.

Please reach out via mail for a convenient conversation and implementation. Thanks

Hi, it does have media blocks somewhere as we can add videos to the products, but we are unsure on how to find and copy this text then add it to the correct home page?

Didn’t get anything you said this time. But the part of adding videos or images to products that is from the product settings where you add title, description, etc. For this you need to add code on your theme code editor. From the customizer try adding a section and search for video.
