Video
Video plays either a Shopify-hosted video or an external YouTube or Vimeo URL, picked with the Source setting. External videos are poster-first: the page ships a poster image and a play button, and the provider’s iframe is only built once the shopper presses play. Autoplay applies to hosted video only — it plays muted, looped and inline, and never starts for a visitor who has reduced motion turned on. Controls stay available either way.
