Thank you @oscprofessional this is super helpful! Looks like instafeed will be the way to go for us 
Topic summary
Seeking a third‑party app to display Instagram videos with autoplay on a Shopify store, similar to a homepage widget example.
Two approaches suggested:
- Use an Instagram feed app with autoplay (e.g., Instafeed). Install, connect Instagram, and enable settings like “Autoplay Videos” or “Video Autostart.” Displays the Instagram feed with videos that auto‑play.
- Upload videos directly to Shopify and place them via the theme editor. Add a video section or embed, and enable “Autoplay” or “Muted Autoplay” if available for more control over placement and behavior.
Key considerations:
- Mobile optimization: prefer muted autoplay and ensure good performance on smartphones.
- Data usage: autoplay can consume mobile data; weigh audience impact.
- User experience: test to prevent disruptive loading or browsing.
Outcome: The requester decided to proceed with Instafeed.
Status: Resolved; no unanswered technical questions. Technical terms: “Instafeed” (Shopify app for Instagram feeds with autoplay), “theme editor” (Shopify tool to place and configure sections), “muted autoplay” (auto‑playing video without sound).
