Embed video

Product Video v2 can embed video from six external providers. You paste a URL into the Embed Video card and the plugin recognises the source, fetches a thumbnail, and renders the right embed code on the storefront.

  • YouTube — also youtube-nocookie.com for GDPR-friendly embedding; includes YouTube Shorts
  • Vimeo
  • Facebook
  • TikTok
  • Dailymotion
  • Gcore — CDN-hosted videos

Source defaults are configured globally under Settings → System → System Config → Product videos → {provider} settings. Per-video overrides happen on the product media form.

  1. Open a product → Media tab.
  2. Click Add file or Add from media library to create a media entry, then select it.
  3. In the media side panel, find the Embed Video card. Click Add and paste the URL — the plugin auto-detects YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, TikTok, Dailymotion and Gcore.
  4. The thumbnail is fetched automatically for YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok and Dailymotion.
  5. Switch to the Settings tab inside the media entry to configure per-video playback (autoplay, muted, loop, controls, theme).
  6. Save the product.

The Settings tab exposes common toggles across all sources:

  • Mark video as cover
  • Autoplay, Muted, Loop, Controls, Play inline, Keyboard
  • Start video at / End video at — clip the playable range (YouTube)

YouTube exposes additional source-specific options:

  • nocookie mode — use youtube-nocookie.com
  • Poster on pause
  • Delay first play
  • Seeking behaviourblur, blackBackground, nothing
  • Theme — one of eight YouTube player themes (see YouTube themes)

Vimeo additionally exposes Creator, Title, Portrait and a controls colour picker.
