How Do I Embed a Video in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 14, 2023 @ 4:10 am

There are a few methods that can be used to embed a video in WooCommerce. The first is to use the built-in WordPress video player.

This can be done by pasting the URL of the video into the post editor. WordPress will then automatically embed the video into the post.

Another method is to use a plugin such as Video Embedder. This plugin allows you to embed videos from popular video sites such as YouTube and Vimeo.

Simply install the plugin and then paste the URL of the video into the post editor. The video will then be embedded into the post.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to embed a video in WooCommerce, be aware that there are some potential risks.

First, make sure that the video is hosted on a reliable and secure site. If the video is hosted on an unreliable or insecure site, it could be taken down at any time, which would disrupt your WooCommerce store.

Secondly, make sure that the video is appropriate for your audience. If the video is not appropriate for your audience, it could reflect poorly on your brand and damage your reputation.

Finally, you can also embed a video using HTML code. This method requires that you have a self-hosted video file.

To do this, upload the video file to your WordPress media library and then copy its URL. Next, paste the following code into the post editor:

<video controls="controls" width="400" height="300">
<source src="VIDEO_URL" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="VIDEO_URL" type="video/ogg" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Replace VIDEO_URL with the URL of your video file. This code will embed the video into the post and it will be playable using the HTML5 video player.
