How to remove the video play icon in the Refresh theme?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

  • Goal: Remove the play icon from the built-in video section of the Shopify Refresh theme and have the video play on a loop.

  • Proposed approach: Edit the theme file Sections/video.liquid to remove the play icon markup, remove the controls attribute, and add a loop attribute so the video auto-repeats. (Note: Specific code details were not provided in the thread.)

  • Where to edit: Online Store → Themes → Edit code → Sections → video.liquid.

  • Outcome so far: After attempting these changes, the original poster reported that it didn’t work, indicating the instructions may be incomplete or theme-specific.

  • Follow-up actions: Helpers requested the store URL and screenshots to diagnose further and offered to check the backend.

  • Key terms: video.liquid (theme section file), controls attribute (browser video UI), loop attribute (auto-replay).

  • Status: Unresolved; awaiting more details (store URL/screenshot) for targeted guidance.
