Ways to Add Video to WooCommerce

Manual Video Embedding

If you want to add a video to a product page or description without installing additional plugins, WooCommerce makes it easy:

• Open the desired product or page in the WooCommerce admin panel.
• Copy the embed code from a video hosting platform (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, RUTUBE).
• Switch to HTML mode in the editor and paste the code into the desired location.
• Adjust the video size and alignment on the page if necessary.

• ✅ Pros: A quick and universal method, videos display correctly on most devices.
• ❌ Cons: Limited customization and design options for the video, no advanced management features.

WooCommerce offers many plugins that simplify video integration on product and category pages. These solutions allow not only embedding videos but also managing their display, design, and additional features:

• WooCommerce Video Gallery — lets you create video galleries for products, supports YouTube, Vimeo, and custom file uploads.
• Product Video for WooCommerce — adds a separate tab or block with a video review directly to the product page.

• ✅ Pros: Easy setup without code editing, advanced design options, support for various video hosting platforms.
• ❌ Cons: Some features are only available in paid versions, potential conflicts with other plugins, requires regular updates for compatibility.
