Since WooCommerce 11.1 the product gallery can show video, but the option is off by default. Here is how to turn it on.
Updated 10 November 2026
Turn on gallery video in WooCommerce.
WooCommerce 11.1 added video to the product gallery as an experimental feature. It stays off until you switch it on.
Update WooCommerce
Gallery video needs WooCommerce 11.1 or later.
Switch the feature on
Go to WooCommerce, Settings, Advanced, Features, tick Product gallery videos and save.
Add the video
Open the product, click Add media to product gallery and pick or upload the video in the Media Library.
Update the product
Click Update, then open the product page to check it.
What the built-in option cannot do yet.
Media Library only
No YouTube or Vimeo links.
Not the main image
The video sits in the gallery, not in the main image slot.
No variations
Variation galleries, CSV import and export and the REST API do not support it yet.
Muted loop
The video plays on its own, muted and looped, without controls.
Need YouTube links? Use a gallery plugin.
Several free plugins on WordPress.org add video to the product gallery. The most installed ones had 4,000 to 20,000+ active installs on 10 November 2026.
Their free versions differ. Some allow one YouTube video per product, and Vimeo or uploaded files often need the paid version. Check the plugin page before you install.
Find a plugin
In WordPress, go to Plugins, Add New Plugin, and search for product video gallery.
Install and activate
Pick one that matches your theme and the video source you use.
Add the video
Open the product and paste the video link in the box the plugin adds.
Update the product
Click Update and check the gallery on the product page.
No video yet? Make one from a photo.
Sizzle turns a product photo into a 5 or 10 second video and adds it to the product gallery and your media library.
Open a product in WordPress
The Sizzle plugin adds its own panel to the product editor.
Start from a gallery image
Pick one of the photos the product already has.
Set the length and look
5 or 10 seconds. A vertical Fast draft with music, or a Studio clip with sound.
Send it to the gallery
Sizzle saves the file to the Media Library and attaches it to the product gallery.
Fair questions about WooCommerce product videos.
Does WooCommerce support product videos?
Yes, since version 11.1, as an experimental feature that is off by default. Turn it on under WooCommerce, Settings, Advanced, Features.
Can I add a YouTube video to the WooCommerce gallery?
Not with the built-in option, which takes Media Library files only. A gallery plugin can add YouTube links.
Can a video be the main product image?
Not with the built-in option. The video sits among the gallery images.
Does gallery video work with variations?
Not yet. Variation galleries do not support video.
Which video file should I upload to WooCommerce?
Keep it short and light. A 5 to 10 second MP4 loops well in the gallery and loads quickly.
