Adding a video in the "Multicolumn" section within the Dawn Theme

Store Design
1

Dear Shopify Community!
I am moving my website from WordPress to Shopify and am currently building my site. The basis for this is the “Dawn” theme. I want to insert videos instead of gifs in the MultiColumn section. Is it technically possible to change the code of the section so that this is possible?
Many thanks in advance,
Mike

Yes, you can insert a video instead of image or gifs. I will be glad to help you on this.

What’s your store URL and is your migration done completely?

Thanks

Hello Anthony, thank you so much for your reply and willingness to resolve my concern! The website is still under construction and can be reached via the following link:

In the 4th section on the main page “The PeacePoti Experience” I would like to use videos instead of .gifs. I look forward to an answer from you!
Thank you very much,
Mike

Is this indicative of the help the community provides? Most of us want some idea of how to go about it, not to employ a consultant who says it’s “Not Possible” unless you give them access.

I know I’m new here, but this is kind of concerning.

Sorry to hear this, We are not here to make money, trying our best to reply. Adding video section is bit complicated and so we asked you the staff access. And it step is usually fast.

If you are can, I can surely share you a video and you can follow it,

Thanks

I’ve followed all of the instructions in the video and have successfully added the video in a multi-column block. However, when you load the website the video is really blurry before playing. How can I change this? I have tried to replace the cover image but it is still the same

Hey Jak this was soo helpful! Is there a way to get the videos to play on a loop?
