On the product page, add a video as the second slide in the image gallery. Autoplay muted, looping, tap to unmute. Mobile-first orientation.
- Video as a real slide inside the existing gallery.
- Muted autoplay so it just plays — no commitment needed.
- Tap to unmute for full audio.
- Lazy-loaded with a poster frame, so it doesn't slow the first view.
What you're trying to do
Photo galleries answer 'what does it look like?'. Video answers 'how does it work?'. For products where usage matters (skincare application, a sweater texture, food prep), video belongs IN the gallery, not as a separate section the shopper has to scroll to.
Things to watch out for
- iOS: Fudge sets
playsInlineandmutedso autoplay works on mobile. - File size: keep videos under 5 MB; Fudge flags files that are too heavy.
- Slide indicator: the gallery dots show which slide is video, so it's not a surprise.
- Poster: a still frame loads first, so there's no flash of black.
How Fudge does it
Fudge duplicates your live theme into a draft, edits the relevant template (product page or cart) with the changes your prompt requires, and tests against your real product data. Everything starts in draft — preview on any product or in the cart, tweak any detail, and publish when you're ready. Your live store stays untouched.
Why product videos belong in the gallery
A short product video (autoplay muted, looping, tap to unmute) placed as the second slide in the product gallery helps shoppers judge tactile or moving products such as apparel, accessories and beauty application.
When this is worth building
Build product video for categories where movement or texture matters. Skip for static-image-suffices categories (most decorative goods).
What makes one great
- Second slide in the gallery — visible without action.
- Autoplay muted with tap to unmute — iOS-safe pattern.
- Looping playback — short videos feel ambient, not demanding.
- Mobile-first orientation — vertical or square.
