1. Adding Video to the Product Gallery

Product videos can be displayed within the product's image gallery, allowing users to scroll through images and view video in the same place. The video can be played in the product image area, or can be expanded to full screen.

This location is good for ensuring the video remains in the most visible part of the page, and doesn't slip 'below the fold' where the user may miss it if they have to scroll.  

1. Login to In the CMS. Navigate , go to Products & Categories → Product Maintenance. 
   
   
2. Search for the required product code and click 'Edit'.
   
   
3. Scroll to the Media section and click 'Add Video'.

9. In another browser (or incognito tab), load the product detail page for the product you edited. You'll see that your video has been added to the image gallery. 

2. Adding Video outside the Product Gallery

In some cases, you may wish to spotlight a particular video on a product page. In this case, you can use the Product Video widget to place the video in both the image gallery and elsewhere on the page.   This is great if you've got lots of media in the product gallery, and want to be certain your users take notice of a particular video. Add the Product Video Widget in the zone to display the video. 

In the following example, we'll add a Video widget to the product detail page, and tag certain videos that we'd like this widget to display only videos with a certain tag. 

1. Follow the steps above to add the a video to the product gallery. 
   
   
2. After adding the video, click 'Add Tag...'. 
   
   

3. Enter a tag into the field (which you will reference later) and click 'Save'.

   Tip
   Edit other products to add this tag to their applicable videos. If the widget detects a video in the gallery with the specified tag, it will render it on the product detail page. If there are no videos with matching tags, the widget will simply be hidden.

   
   

4. Go to Content → Content → Pages & Templates → Products. 
   
   
5. Select the Product Detail template.
