Configure product video

You can add video from external resources (currently, from YouTube and Vimeo) on product pages. Video is added in Admin when creating or editing a product.

Certain product video options can be set in the config.xml configuration file. These settings are not theme-specific.

Programmatic options

You can set the following product video options:

You can configure these options in your custom module's config.xml file.

Example:

Copy
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Store:etc/config.xsd">
    <default>
        <catalog>
            <product_video>
                <play_if_base>1</play_if_base>
                <show_related>1</show_related>
                <video_auto_restart>1</video_auto_restart>
            </product_video>
        </catalog>
    </default>
</config>
Copied to your clipboard
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Store:etc/config.xsd">
    <default>
        <catalog>
            <product_video>
                <play_if_base>1</play_if_base>
                <show_related>1</show_related>
                <video_auto_restart>1</video_auto_restart>
            </product_video>
        </catalog>
    </default>
</config>

For the sake of compatibility, upgradability and easy maintenance, do not edit the default code. Instead add your customizations in a separate module.

1. On the Admin sidebar, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration.

2. In the left panel, expand Catalog and choose Catalog underneath.

3. Expand the Product Video section and uncheck the Use system value checkbox. Then change the configuration options.

1. When complete, click Save Config.

2. When prompted, refresh the cache.
