Dawn theme- adding videos to theme pages without hosted platforms (youtube, vimeo)

Hello,

I am wondering if there is anyway to add videos to the theme pages without first uploading it on youtube or vimeo. I do not want to include videos on product pages, already know how to do that. I need to be able to add videos to theme pages such as collection page etc.

Let me know if you have a solution for me :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello,

Thank you, but you cannot upload a video from files on theme pages such as a collection page. It says that it needs hosting like Vimeo or Youtube but I am wondering how I can manipulate the code on Dawn theme to be able to upload my own videos somehow.

See attached,

Thanks.

For that you have to add a video Section for your Different page.

I think there’s an option to add an mp4 file? I’m just not sure if it works for all themes.

yes, it can work for all theme.

This works if I had liquid for each theme separately but I only have Json for each theme page and only a general liquid and I want to use a different video on different theme pages. Can you help me? Thanks so much!!

What do you want exactly any screenshot or link which type you want to add video Section.

Yes- I want to add a video section to a product theme page and also to a page banner at top as well.

1- For the product theme page- attached what the coding looks like right now and also where I want the video to be placed.

2- For the page banner- I want where the image banner is to be half image and then other half a video next to it. Also attached coding.

Thanks!

Now you can Add the Section and use it. Which you have added the Video Section.

I don’t understand how I can do that- when I put the code in .Json, it gives me an error and there is no .liquid files for these theme pages. I have made a section named: video-test and the code I try to put in my .Json coding is: {% section ‘video-test’ %} but it keeps giving me an error.

You can’t add it into the json file

So there is no way for me to add it to my theme pages, right?

You can add it custom. if you are not developer then you can hire a developer. to add it.

Follow this steps:

I already have- what I am saying is I don’t want to add the video to my home page- the last step of these instructions is adding the section to the home page so the video shows on the home page but what I am trying to do is adding the videos to specific theme pages which only seem to have .Json and not .liquid

From their you can add on other page also

From where? I am adding the custom liquid to the actual specific page theme right now since the them pages only have .Json but when I try to put the step 3 of the guide ({% section ‘video-test’ %}) in the coding of the custom liquid section, it gives me an error that sections cannot be put inside sections. So what do I do here?

Ok- so I figured out how to add it as costume liquid- thanks so much!! My only question is how can I make the size different than what it is now?

The costume liquid code is as below now:

Below is the link of how it shows now- I want it to take the whole space:
