Embed video

Mediaverse can embed video from six external sources. You paste a URL into the Embed Video card on a product media entry and the plugin recognises the source, fetches a thumbnail, and renders the right embed code on the storefront.

Supported sources

• YouTube — also youtube-nocookie.com for GDPR-friendly embedding, plus YouTube Shorts URLs
• Vimeo — including advanced privacy mode, creator info, portrait, controls colour
• Facebook
• TikTok
• Dailymotion
• G-Core — CDN-hosted videos

Each source can be configured globally in Settings → Plugins → Mediaverse → Embed, where the configuration page has a tab per source (General / YouTube / Vimeo / Facebook / TikTok / Dailymotion / G-Core). Per-video overrides live on the product media entry’s Settings tab.

How to add an embedded video

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 Mediaverse side panel, find the Embed Video card. Paste the URL into the input and click Add — Mediaverse auto-detects YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, TikTok, Dailymotion and G-Core.
4. The thumbnail is fetched automatically for YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok and Dailymotion.
5. Switch to the Settings tab inside the media entry to set per-video playback (autoplay, muted, loop, controls, start / end time, theme).
6. Save the product.

Playback options

The Settings tab exposes common controls across all sources:

• Autoplay, Muted, Loop, Controls, Play inline
• Start video at / End video at — clip the playable range (YouTube, Vimeo)
• Keyboard — keyboard shortcuts inside the iframe
• Mark as cover — use this video as the product listing cover

YouTube and Vimeo expose additional source-specific options:

• YouTube — nocookie mode, poster on pause, delay first play, seeking behavior, eight player themes (configured globally in Embed → YouTube)
• Vimeo — advanced privacy mode, Creator, Title, Portrait, controls colour

GDPR

If Settings → Plugins → Mediaverse → Video → Do not require cookies accept is off (default), embedded iframes for third-party sources are gated behind a cookie consent overlay. The customer must accept cookies before the iframe loads.

Tips & gotchas

Tip

For a fully GDPR-friendly YouTube experience without losing functionality, enable YouTube nocookie in Embed → YouTube. The plugin then uses youtube-nocookie.com for all YouTube embeds.

Caution

Browsers require muted autoplay for video to start without user interaction. If you set Autoplay but the video does not start, check that Muted is also enabled.
