How can I add a text and button overlay to a video banner?

Topic summary

Goal: add a text and button overlay to a custom video banner on a Shopify store using the Dawn theme (video was added via custom code, not the native video section).

  • A developer offered help and requested store access. The store owner asked for code they could implement themselves.
  • A GitHub reference was shared: sandeeppangeni/VideoBanner. No inline code was posted in the thread.
  • After implementation, the store owner reported that the top navigation/menu stopped working on mobile and only partially worked on desktop.
  • The helper said the store link was not working and requested a preview URL to diagnose. The store owner then provided the domain link again.

Key terms: Dawn theme (Shopify’s default theme), hero image banner (top-of-page banner), overlay (text/button placed on top of the video).

Current status: unresolved. The menu/navigation issue persists after adding the overlay/video code. Next step depends on providing a working preview link or further troubleshooting guidance; no confirmed fix or code changes are documented in the thread.
