i want to add video in my store , when some body visits my store it should be playing on home page, and it shouldnot effects my store speed, how can i add video section on my web ,whereever i want it to be shown ,kindly share the code and where it is to be added.
Seems like you are using Dawn.
In the admin, go to Online Store > Themes. Click on Customize. It will open the homepage.
Add a video section like shown in the attachment. If it’s from youtube, add "&autoplay=1" to the link, it should play on its own
That would be complex, honestly the best/cheap/easy way to go is upload it on youtube as unlisted, and link it there. All our clients do like that and have not had any issue
