Hi for product page I can’t view video. If I click video I want to see “full screen” but I cant. Says website doesn’t support full screen. I’m using theme dawn from Shopify free themes. Please fix full screen feature for all products pages. It works for home page but not product page. Please fix.
Topic summary
A user reports that product page videos in Shopify’s free Dawn theme lack fullscreen functionality, despite this feature working correctly on the homepage.
Issue confirmed:
- Another user verified experiencing the same limitation with Dawn theme videos on product pages
Suggested solutions:
- Recommended approach: Upload videos to YouTube or Vimeo, then embed them on product pages using a liquid block—these external players support fullscreen natively
- Alternative: Custom code modifications to Shopify’s native video player (noted as less efficient)
The discussion remains open with no official fix from Shopify, but the external video hosting workaround appears to be the most practical solution currently available.

Hello! I think this may be from a personal experience on mine
And you’re correct the Dawn theme. Video on product page do jot allow full screen despite the working on the homepage. That’s quite infuriating
The simplest workaround? Place your video on a YouTube or Vimeo account then posy in onto your product page through a liquid block. Their players allow for fullscreen and function much better
If you would rather utilise videos from within shopify, some custom code changes would be required, but using the embed method is far more efficient and straightforward
