Hello - thanks for the reply. So this works if I just want a different ‘video’, however what i am looking for is different ‘video banners’. That way I can put text/buttons over it.
Topic summary
A user seeks to display different videos for desktop (landscape) and mobile (portrait) on their Shopify Dawn theme homepage. They attempted using custom liquid sections with CSS media queries but encountered issues where both videos displayed on mobile.
