Videos and in particular, product videos can have an incredible ability to increase conversions by better helping people understand your product and provide customers with as much information as possible about the products you offer.
How to add a video?
You need to add a Video Section to embed a video to your Shopify home page.
There are many themes which already come with a feature of adding video to your homepage by just inserting a link. To host a video, create an account on Youtube or any other social media sites you want to use. The video that you host will have a unique URL link, so you need to insert the URL link in the video section to embed the video.

Please Note:
- There are some themes which do not support videos. So look for a Featured video option in the theme and if you could not find the Featured video option, then try using some alternate theme which supports video.
- And also there are some themes which already have a video section in it by default, so for those themes you don’t need to Add Section to embed video.
