Hello Shopify Community,
I created a new custom section on my product page using a video-text code snippet I found online. The section looks great in terms of layout and design, and I successfully added it to the product page:
https://kyotsu.ch/products/chefmesser (see the “Unboxing” section)
However, the video does not behave as I want it to. Currently, it requires clicking a play button to start, and it opens fullscreen on play. I would like the video to:
-
autoplay as soon as the page/section loads,
-
loop continuously without stopping,
-
play inline on the page (no fullscreen or popup),
-
and have no visible play button or require any click to start.
I am using the Sense theme. Could someone please help me adjust the code so that the video plays automatically on loop without user interaction?
Thank you very much in advance for your support!
Best regards,
Tobias

. The video had a play button overlay that was preventing the loop, and there were attributes that required interaction with the video for it to play. None of those are there anymore, so it’s resolved.
