Can anyone suggest themes that accommodate multiple videos on the home page (with the exception of Frame which is limited to three videos)? Video content is of entertainment value to drive traffic and is not always product related. Showing products alongside video panes is a plus, however. We’re looking at a gallery of 50+ video thumbs that, when clicked, play directly on the store so no linking over to YouTube. Thanks for any suggestions!
Topic summary
A user seeks Shopify themes supporting 50+ video thumbnails on the homepage that play directly in a lightbox when clicked, avoiding external YouTube redirects. The videos serve entertainment purposes to drive traffic rather than product promotion.
Recommended themes include:
- Pipeline: Multimedia-focused with multiple video sections alongside products
- Testament: Customizable video sections combined with product showcases
- Broadcast: Versatile theme for prominent video display
- Motion: Built specifically for multimedia content with lightbox functionality for video galleries
The original poster prefers avoiding custom code solutions due to concerns about theme upgrade compatibility and developer dependency. An alternative suggestion was made to customize their current theme, though this would require custom coding. The user plans to explore the recommended themes further.

-

Thank you, I’ll look into those!
Great answer up above! Another option is to add this feature to your current theme as well, and that way, you can get it to look just the way you want it to.
How is that possible without using custom code?
You would have to use custom code for that. However, you could also look into some of the themes mentioned above, and customize them later.
Prefer not to resort to custom code. Potentially interferes with theme upgrades and having to be reliant on a developer.
