How to Add Product Videos to Your WooCommerce Galleries

Next, scroll down to the ‘Embed videos’ section, where you will find all these options repeated for embedded video.

Alternatively, you can upload a video using the WordPress media library. However, we don’t recommend this method because uploading videos uses a lot of bandwidth.

Now, you need to select how you want to add the video from the ‘Add Video’ dropdown menu. For this tutorial, we will be choosing the ‘By URL’ option because we will be adding a YouTube video URL.

You can now visit your online store to check if the video has been added to the WooCommerce gallery of your product.

To add a product video to the WooCommerce gallery, head over to the Products » All Products page from the admin sidebar.

Configure Gallery Settings (Premium Plugin Only)

Once you have done that, you need to move the slider next to the ‘Volume’ option to adjust the volume of the video. Then, simply toggle on the ‘Stoppable videos’ switch to allow users to pause a video.

With this plugin, you can add a video from YouTube, Vimeo, or your own video from the media library to the WooCommerce gallery.

Once you have done that, simply toggle on the ‘Autoplay’ switch if you want the video to start playing automatically.

Configure Modal Settings (Premium Plugin Only)

You now need to switch to the ‘Gallery Settings’ tab from the top. This tab is only available in the premium version.

That being said, let’s see how you can easily add product videos to your WooCommerce galleries. You can use the links below to jump to the method you want to use.
