How to Add a Background Video in Shopify Symmetry Theme

Content

Symmetry has a dedicated background video option for sections — a looping, muted video plays behind your text and buttons instead of a static image.

Steps

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize on Symmetry.
  2. Click Add section and choose Background video (or open an existing hero-style section and check for a video option in its settings).
  3. Upload your video file, or link one hosted on YouTube or Vimeo depending on what the section supports.
  4. Set the heading, text, and button that sit on top of the video.
  5. Click Save.

Keep the video short, silent, and visually simple — a busy or noisy background video competes with the text sitting on top of it instead of supporting it.
