What theme are you using? The link you shared can’t be used, we don’t have access to your admin

check now i shared link to store

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

no its not from youtube. i want to add own video ,can i ?

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

worked. thank you
