Do you want to integrate a video into a product image? In any WooCommerce business, a single product page is essential. This assists the buyer in making an informed buying choice.

This page should always be updated with the necessary information, so, instead of a static, uninteresting featured image and a gallery, you might show a YouTube movie. The video will allow the customer to view the product’s features and decide whether or not to buy it.

In this post ‘Add Video Instead of Product Images in Woocommerce’, we will inform you about how to add a video to your WooCommerce single product page instead of an image.

Add Video Instead of Product Images in Woocommerce

WooCommerce, as far as we know, does not offer an integrated solution for this. We’ll utilize a WooCommerce hook and a custom PHP snippet to do this.

Refer to the below image, how the product image is displayed on the front end.

Use the ‘woocommerce_before_single_product’ hook and build a custom function like ‘custom_show_video_not_image’ to display a video instead of an image on the WooCommerce single product page. You can name the function whatever you want.

In your theme’s functions.php file, add the below code and Modified based on Your Product ID:

/**
 * @snippet     Add Video Instead of Product Images in Woocommerce
*/
 
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'custom_show_video_not_image' );
 
 function custom_show_video_not_image() {
 
   // Do this for product ID = 152 only
 
   if ( is_single( '125' ) ) {
 
      remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_show_product_images', 20 );
 
      remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_thumbnails', 'woocommerce_show_product_thumbnails', 20 );
 
      add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', 'show_product_video', 20 );
 
   }
 
}
 
 function show_product_video() {
 
   echo '<div class="woocommerce-product-gallery">';
 
   // get video embed HTML from YouTube
 
   echo '<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FzkcNERisXg" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>';
 
   echo '</div>';
 
}

Here is the output after adding the code.

You can extend the functionality based on your requirements. Based on the theme you can add the additional CSS.
