[@333baine]

bro ive joined facebook groups, watched hours of youtube tutorials and even tried using GIFs💀youre a life saver, honestly. the only tutorial ive watched which explains perfectly and works amazingly on desktop as well as mobile. you are a legend

[@luisatejeda8866]

OMG I’ve been searching for an easy video for 2 hours and the ones that I found I had to add a bunch of code, Thank you so much for making this so simple!!!

[@pamelachance2915]

I have been trying code from other videos for 2 days. Yours took 5 minutes. Thanks a million times over!

[@DaveFore_AudioEngineering]

I had to change my margin to -50px as the template was displaying an added 50px of header space (or so it seemed) but this puts the video right to the very bottom of the header. This is awesome, man! Thank you!

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

Thanks so much! Glad it helped

[@RiversideVideo47]

I spent 4 hours today trying many solutions for this issue. One used 450 lines of code and didn't work!!! Yours uses 2 lines of code, takes 5 minutes and works brilliantly. Well done. Keep it up.

[@artishdesign]

Wow I just spent an hour trying to figure this out on my own and you just made it easy as 123! Thank you!!!!

[@countrydancex]

Thank you for this video. It was as easy to do as promised. I do have a question ... How could changing the viewing size (percent) affect the loading time? The video would still be the exact same size but we would just be viewing it in a smaller window right? I can't imagine a scenario where changing the viewing size would affect the loading time.

[@taylornils]

Thank you so much for this!! I have tried maybe 5 different methods that didn't work and yours was by far the easiest & most effective. Great job explaining the code- I've never had any experience with it and I was able to edit it perfectly to fit my website. Thanks again!!

[@montesinbad]

this is a very usefull video even in 2024 everything you said is still working,Very nice video thank you!

[@MidwestGoldworksChain]

Hey man. This was an awesome video much appreciated.. is there anyway to get the “auto play” feature to work on mobile? It’s not working on my iPhone but in desktop and iPad it auto plays, otherwise on my phone I have to click the play button? Help please lol, thankyou!

[@MKMK-iw8te]

Literally just copy and paste! Best video for this topic I've seen thus far! Thanks

[@pamelachance2915]

Thank you. This helped me so much! How can we add a text box with a button over the video?

[@LeifRobertson-y9j]

Hey! Out of all the BS ones Ive tried this one worked quick and simple. The others did not work on mobile and required too many adjustments..I know code and this is way easier...Thanks!!!

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

Great to hear!

[@arturhavrylov]

Man you are the best. You should keep creating content. I like how you explain easily

[@yamillopez6754]

Great solution!.. very simple!... one question: How can I do, to show a video on desktop and see another video on mobile?

[@jessewiesner3930]

PSA: This actually works. Thanks!

[@MadsHall-f1x]

Thanks a ton! Most easy video for this feature on youtube. Do you know if there is a way to add text and even a button to the video banner?

[@blowerbandco1607]

Two questions any way to add opacity? Anyway to get text overlay?

[@Alina-wy1ro]

Thank you! IS there a way to make it clickable?

[@candylovalot]

It works perfectly. Thank you. How can we have the video on full height screen on mobile?

[@sendly_6980]

Hello! Thank you very much for the good video! I have one problem tho: The video shows perfectly fine on desktop, but on mobile it doesn't work... any tips?

[@portaemprende]

[@susannlucas7138]

Hi thank you again for this code the only thing is i have this white gap between the video and the header ... any idea what to do or how i can get it up to the header wihout the gap ? Thank you

[@investintoyourself]

Thanks you, you’re a saviour! Only question I’ve got is where to find such high quality professional video’s falling under my theme/season?

[@vize004]

Hey! THis code is great and easy thank you! One question is there a little more code that could add to make the video clickable and link to another page?

[@yourlinkedinbestie]

This video just saved me now. So helpful. Video working properly

[@artishdesign]

Is it possible to add Text and Button options overlayed over the video with this method?

[@manizacisse982]

Thanks for the Video! But the autoplay does not work in my page somehow ? Do you know how I can fix it ?

[@faldabagh]

This is a tonne easier than adding a new section! Is it possible to add a button on top of the video here though?

[@WarrenLouw]

Thanks a lot man! Is there a way to add videos to collection headers? Can't seem to figure that one out.

[@yukonglory]

Hi! Thanks for the video. This option does not allow you to add h1 header and description (hero text) which is super important for a home page. How does one goi about doing that?

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

Your homepage already has a title on Shopify - it takes it from the Shopify internal settings

[@God66671]

Can you please make the code for having different dimension desktop and mobile please ? Actually video looks small on mobile would like to rotate the video to portait format for mobile ……… thanks

[@MrAviranshahino]

I've almost change platform to squerspace for having this. Thank you very much. Can sound work also?

[@xanderrijkee5094]

Works like a charm... very elegant solution!

[@Heyydudee]

Great thank you for this. I will join & subscribe! But wondering if you could tell me how to add a email collection field underneath the header/subheader?

[@wxsse]

Hey! I have this problem where it doesn't change the height of the video. Only the width.

[@PhotoBoothMaestro]

Hello, What buttons did you press to open the code directly in editor at the moment 2:03? When I double click on the section name it doesn't open the code source. Thank you!

[@maramalmutairi8626]

Thank you. It really helped. Is there anyway we can add a Shop All button on the video?

[@allthingsdivergent-88]

Thank you so much!! This is the first embedded code that works across all the different styles ie. phone, computer etc.

[@B750-k7n]

You are an legend, i wish you life time succes

[@s1lvastyle]

Thank you for the help! Do you have a solution to close the gap between the header and the video?

[@mar97021]

This was super easy to do for my non-coding brain. Thank you! Is there a way to move the video to the right side of the page?

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

I'm not sure, probably by adding a div or something..... or adding a white space? I don't know for sure

[@Faaith1]

Hi! Thank you so much for this, super easyyy. Is there a way I can add a button in the middle or a link so when clicked on the video it takes users to a collection? tank you

[@silviobiabo]

Really Simple! Took me less than 10 minutes to do! Thanks a lot💯💯

[@pinifarina458]

Is there a way to make it also look good on the mobile version?

[@iamjamham]

You are the man. Super easy to follow - thanks mate!

[@investorempires]

I thought I was never gonna be able to do it. Thank so much! Do you think is possible to add a clickable button on it? If so, can you explain how? Thanks!

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

you can actually just add an html button just ask ChatGPT to do it

[@kellyrodrigues1483]

Amazing video! Is it possible to add text and a button on the video? Thank you

[@Bonnyvox]

Awesome!! Can i put text over it?

[@ShopMichelleBoutique]

Very easy and well explained! Thanks so much!

[@Craigo177]

Thanks for making such a great tutorial! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what would I need to change for my video to not be muted? Thanks :)

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

It says mute=yes in the code I think somewhere just change that

[@Craigo177]

@@Incomestreamsurfers video { display: block; margin: 0 auto; width: 100%; height: 50%; } It's got playsinline muted at the end there and I've tried removing the word muted, but then it doesn't autoplay anymore. Do I need to put something else there instead?

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

@@Craigo177 just a tip as you’ll need this anyway - try putting the code into ChatGPT and saying can you unmute this but keep auto play

[@AGENCE_AIDA]

Thank you very much. But i may be the only one but i never succeeded to get the same result as you. The video takes over all the page and i've changed the margin, width and height, but nothing changed... can you help please ? Thank you

[@wladikov1362]

Yooo awesome, I really needed this. I have a tiny problem tho. Whenever I, for example, choose a color or a size for my product or when I click on a "show all" button the video stops playing, even though it set on autoplay and loop. Any help would be appreciated 🙏

[@dylanbensi-yx3cf]

Thank you! only i have one thing I want this just being the only thing on my webshop as homepage and on desktop mode it is full screen but in Mobile it isn't only just a small part how can i fix this?

[@Es_4444]

Hi great video! I have uploaded the video however is not playing automatically. How do I fix this? Thank you!

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

@@Es_4444 auto play depends on the browser and not your settings

Hey, i have a question, do you also know.. for example i have 2 videos, and i want them both player, but when the first video stops, the second video plays, hope you can help me out

[@petermolloy4174]

Dude, Thanks so much for that tutorial and supplying the free code. Legend

[@alozanx]

hey and what about mobile version? in my case i don't want the video to resize how can I make it?

[@davideesposito8471]

You helped me a lot! Thank you! One question, it is possible to make it showable only for the mobile?

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

Probably - I will look into this but most likely you will have to use media screens - if you can’t work it out I’ll have a look. Google media screens Shopify and make it so the video only shows on screens smaller than 1000px or something

[@yRyXn-]

The video doesnt work on phone, can you help me with that?

[@aaronkleytz8599]

is there a way to add text/link to product page on the video?

I noticed the video appears on all page ,how can change that

[@hocuskrazy]

only video that worked bro thx

[@DionSteyn-zx7jx]

Thank you soooooo much, this video really helped me

[@gdt3559]

Thank you so much!!!! This took a few minutes and bang!!

[@KidParanormal]

How do you get it to auto play on IOS devices?

[@niko_goosebumps]

Thank you but in my case it doesn't work. I think it has something to do with my video link, even tho it looks pretty similar to urs.

[@MABO]

So good thank you!

[@AraB-df4cd]

Thank you for the video! However, it unfortunately does not play on mobile devices. Which is the most important platform for most. :(

[@Incomestreamsurfers]

The problem is actually that auto play is not automatically switched on on most mobile browsers

[@mellowheights5505]

hello video works great on my desktop version of the website but it does not even show on my mobile version on my iphone any thoughts? i cleared all date and cache

Most likely you have autoplayed disabled on whichever browser you’re using - try using a different mobile browser

[@mellowheights5505]

@@Incomestreamsurfers I have switched the code so the "controls" available. and it only gives me a black screen on mobile. the video never starts playing. Could this have to do with my video file type?
