In this video, I show you how to add an autoplay video background to your Shopify store on basically any theme (including Dawn). Shopify’s default “Video” section isn’t a true background video—it’s meant to be played like a normal embed—so the workaround is adding a custom section by editing your theme code. Don’t worry, it’s a simple copy/paste job, and I walk you through it step by step. First, I upload my MP4 to Shopify by going to Content → Files, then I copy the file URL (I prefer hosting the video inside Shopify Files for faster loading vs pulling from YouTube). Next, I go to Online Store → Themes → Edit code, create a new section called “background-video.liquid”, delete the default placeholder code, and paste in the full section code (make sure you copy all the lines). After saving, I head back to Customize, add the new “Video background” section, paste my video link, and then customize the heading, text, colors, and button. Finally, I show you a quick mobile visibility fix: open Assets → base.css, paste a short 13-line snippet at the bottom, and save. That stops the text from dropping too low on mobile so your hero content stays readable and professional.
