# Add the Video carousel block

> Show up to five videos uploaded to Shopify as a row of thumbnails. A tap opens the video larger with sound.

The **Video carousel** block shows up to five video thumbnails. A tap opens the video larger. Videos must be uploaded to Shopify. YouTube and TikTok links don't work here.

## Before you start

You need Section Store Plus or its free trial.

## Add the block

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Conversion Blocks**.
2. On the **Video carousel** card, click **Edit In Theme**.
3. Pick your theme. Your live theme has a green dot.
4. The theme editor opens on your product template with the block added.
5. Drag the block where you want it.

## Add your videos

1. In Shopify admin, open **Online Store** → **Themes**.
2. Click **Customize** on your theme.
3. Open your product template.
4. Select the **Video carousel** block. If the theme editor is already open from the steps above, start here.
5. Under **Videos**, click **Video #1** and upload or pick a video.
6. Repeat up to **Video #5**.
7. Set **Slider**: **None**, **Arrows** or **Progress bar**.
8. Set **Modal**: **None**, **Side** or **Full modal**.
9. Set **Autoplay**: **Yes** or **No**.
10. Click **Save**.

The theme editor shows sample videos until you pick your own. Your store shows nothing until you do.

## Settings

- **Play button:** **Position** (**None**, **Center**, **Bottom**) and **Size** (**Small**, **Medium**, **Large**). **Position** starts at **None**.
- **Thumbnail:** **Border**, **Width**, **Roundness**, **Padding**, **Videos per row** (**3**, **4**, **5**) and **Shape** (**Rectangle**, **Circle**).
- **Appearance:** **Border**, **Width**, **Roundness** and **Background**.
- **Padding:** **Vertical** and **Horizontal**.
- **Advanced:** **Custom CSS**.

## How it plays

- With **Autoplay** on, thumbnails play muted on a loop while they're on screen.
- With **Modal** on **Side** or **Full modal**, a tap opens the video with sound and controls.
- With **Modal** on **None**, a tap plays or pauses the video in place.
- Arrows and the progress bar show when you have more videos than **Videos per row**.
