With the growing uptake of higher bandwidth Internet connections throughout the world, video is becoming increasingly accessible as a means of displaying your products.
Adding a video of your products to your website can be a great way of showing your product to customers from more angles, as well as giving you a chance to provide narration about the features and benefits of your products.
Now that you are logged in to Drupal Commerce as an administrator, perform the following steps:
Click on the edit link in the Operations column of the product that you want to add the video to:
Now that you're editing the product, you will see the Body field that contains the description of the product.
Navigate to www.youtube.com (or other video sharing website) and locate the video of your product that you want to embed.
Navigate to the Share tab on YouTube.com, and then select the Embed tab to reveal the HTML to embed this video:
The HTML will look similar to the following:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/895eSm4oQRw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Return to your Drupal Commerce administration panel, and insert this HTML into your page where you want the video to appear:
Finally, click on the Save button at the bottom of this screen ensuring that full HTML is allowed to be posted within your product display's Body fields, and return to your store's frontend to view the product as a customer would see it.
You can use videos that you have uploaded to video sharing websites such as YouTube on your website by embedding them with the code that YouTube provides on its Share tab.
Video can be a great way to demonstrate your product to potential customers and give them a better understanding of what they can expect from their purchase.
