Hi @Andia
You can try to add this code to your theme.liquid file, before to check
Topic summary
Goal: autoplay a homepage video in Shopify’s Dawn theme without requiring a click.
Key steps proposed:
- Edit themes > code > sections/video.liquid. Around line 106, render the video with Liquid’s video_tag:
- Set autoplay: true, muted: true, loop: section.settings.enable_video_looping.
- Toggle controls: true/false depending on desired UI.
- Alternative attempt: add custom code before in theme.liquid (led to a black screen for the requester).
- Another suggestion: add additional code at the top of sections/video.liquid (exact snippet not visible in thread). Screenshots were provided to guide file location and placement.
Browser behavior:
- Reported to work on Firefox and Safari but not on Chrome. Note: Chrome often blocks autoplay unless muted; muted was enabled, yet Chrome still failed for the requester.
UI customization:
- To remove controls: set controls: false.
- To remove the overlay play button: add a snippet at the top of the section (exact code not shown in thread).
Status/outcome:
- Controls/play button removal resolved for the requester.
- Autoplay remains inconsistent on Chrome; another participant later reported “not working” and asked where to place the code. No confirmed cross‑browser fix yet.
Notes: Multiple screenshots were central to showing placement and unwanted overlay icons.
