How can I set up automatic video looping on my website?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner wants their homepage video to autoplay on loop instead of requiring manual play button clicks.

Solution Provided:
A user shared step-by-step instructions using a custom liquid section with HTML5 video code. The solution includes:

  • Adding a custom liquid section through Theme > Customize
  • Inserting HTML <video> tag with autoplay, loop, and muted attributes
  • The code snippet was provided with visual screenshots

Initial Success:
The original poster confirmed the solution worked perfectly on their site (lollilifting.com).

Ongoing Issues:
Multiple users report the autoplay feature fails on mobile devices (iPad, phones) despite working on desktop. The play button still appears on mobile platforms.

The discussion remains partially resolved - desktop autoplay works, but mobile compatibility issues persist without additional solutions offered.
