Topic summary

A user is working on customizing a homepage video on their Shopify store. They initially wanted to:

  • Remove the play button overlay
  • Enable autoplay on page load
  • Set the video to loop continuously

Current Status:

  • Successfully removed the play button using CSS or theme customization
  • Still needs help implementing autoplay functionality when the homepage loads

A developer offered to review the theme code to assist, but the user has since made partial progress independently. The discussion remains open with the autoplay feature still unresolved.

Hello @marycrichton123
For this, I will need to check the theme’s code.

Hey @devcoders

Thanks for getting back to me - I have actually managed to get rid of the play button. I now am just working out how to make sure it autoplay once the home page loads - do you know?
