Hey so I used the link for my home page and it worked great, I am just wondering if there is a way to have the video play automatically rather then the customer having to click play.
Thanks so much!

Hi @james0786 ,
Welcome to the Shopify Community!
I understand that you want to add your own video to your product page. I may be able to help you with this.
Note: Make sure that you use MP4 video format, which is the most widely supported video format currently available.
Note: If your video file is larger than 20MB, you’ll have to upload it to YouTube and use the embed code . Otherwise, you’ll need to find a hosting provider for your video, instead of using my Step 1 suggestion of Shopify Files.
Step 1: Upload your video on the Files page:
From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Files .
Click Upload files .
Select the video to upload. Click Open .
Copy the URL of the video and store it somewhere (we’ll need it again soon):
Step 2: Add HTML content to your product with the rich text editor:
Click the Show HTML button to view the HTML code for the product description inside the rich text editor:
Get your video URL from Step 1. Add this code to the HTML:
Be sure to replace “your_url_goes_here” in the code with the URL from Step 1.
Click Save .
Let me know if this solves your problem or if you need further help!@james0786 ,
