How do we track our Shopify-hosted video with Google Analytics?

Topic summary

Goal: Capture granular video interactions on a Shopify site with Google Analytics (GA), including start, stop/pause, and watch duration.

Current state: GA is only showing basic “video engagement” and the poster cannot figure out how to configure detailed metrics.

Context: The video is on www.ipuppee.com.

Request: Guidance on how to set up GA to track specific video events and time watched.

Clarification: GA is a web analytics platform; “video engagement” here refers to high-level metrics, not event-level tracking like start/stop/time watched.

Outcome/Status: No solutions or action items have been provided. The question remains open with the key need being implementation steps for detailed video tracking.

I can’t find an exact post about this, which seems odd. But we have a video on our website, www.ipuppee.com, and Google Analytics provides basic “video engagement”, but I can’t figure out how to set up analytics for start, stop, length of time watch, etc. Does anyone know how to set this up??
