How can I add a video on my homepage and which section do I add it to? Thankyou !
Topic summary
Main issue: how to place a video on the homepage and which section to use, with a preference for a custom (self-hosted) video rather than a YouTube link.
Guidance provided: use the theme’s Video section in the customizer. Screenshots were shared showing where this section appears and that many themes support self-hosted video uploads.
Current blocker: the requester’s theme does not show the self-hosted video option. They believe prior custom code prevented updating the theme, which may be why the option is missing.
Next steps: a helper requested the store link and theme name. The requester provided the URL (www.zakcreationz.com) and confirmed they are using the Dawn theme.
Notes: screenshots in the thread are central, illustrating the Video section and its settings.
Status: unresolved/ongoing. Awaiting review of the provided store and Dawn theme to determine how to enable a self-hosted video on the homepage or propose an alternative workaround. Open question: how to add a self-hosted video in the current (customized/outdated) Dawn setup without a theme update.
so im looking to add custom video not like a YouTube link
Hi @Zakcreationz ,
Most of the theme does support self hosted videos. Can you review this once on your theme.
