Why not you?
No more procrastination. Let’s get started now.
Add Videos in WooCommerce Without a Plugin
The WordPress Gutenberg editor provides several built-in video blocks, such as Video, YouTube Embed, Vimeo Embed, Dailymotion Embed, and more.
These video blocks enable you to add videos in WooCommerce without a plugin. With those built-in video blocks, you can add videos anywhere on your WooCommerce store that support the video blocks.
However, it often depends on theme support.
Most importantly, many crucial areas in WooCommerce don’t support video blocks. For instance, product galleries and product listings are areas that don’t support video blocks.
Then, how to add videos to the restricted areas? That’s where we need to use a plugin.

Why you should add WooCommerce product videos
Product videos help your customers make product purchasing decisions for many reasons. Some of them are as follows:
Detailed product display
A product video displays the product in detail. It shows every side and part of a product thoroughly. Moreover, you can add a voice description to the product video to describe the product’s key features and specifications.
More transparent product showcase
By adding product videos, you make your product showcases more transparent. Product video showcases are less likely to be edited with fake elements. So, WooCommerce product videos grow your customer trust and build your brand loyalty.
Playful and impressive
Your product videos’ music, animations, and effects make your product showcase aesthetic and playful. Moreover, customers prefer watching and listening over reading about a product. So, it easily connects your visitors and impresses them to purchase.
