Videos alongside products

[Smile]

Are there people publishing video's alongside products? And then the bigger ones like 200mb?

What is the best way to go? Some tips are welcome 😉

Yes, I do but I do youtube embeds. You can optimize the original embed code with methods that don't load the video when loading, etc, you can resize, make the container dynamic. The best thing is that you can optimize those vids on YT too and you can get visitors from there too.

If you don't like Google you can use Vimeo.

Of course I'm head over heals with stuff to do and the videos amount is not what I would like.

It's good to consider that Google thinks that videos on the page is good signal.

I think exactly the same, but do you know if you can block the ads from google? Or suggested next video when you have it enbeded?

I dont think you can block it? Not so experienced with it 😉

Google is the biggest virus and cancer of the internet 🙂 It's best not to use any Google services.
It's best to serve movies from your own server. Below is the code for a responsive video with meta data and poster.

<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9" itemscope="" itemprop="VideoObject" itemtype="https://schema.org/VideoObject">
    <meta itemprop="name" content="Your video name">
    <meta itemprop="description" content="Your video description.">
    <meta itemprop="uploadDate" content="2024-02-12T16:28:00+02:00">
    <meta itemprop="contentUrl" content="https://your-domain.com/img/cms/your-video.mp4">
    <meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content="https://your-domain.com/img/cms/video-poster.avif">
    <video width="800" height="450" class="embed-responsive-item" preload="none" controls="controls" poster="https://your-domain.com/img/cms/video-poster.avif">
        <source src="https://your-domain.com/img/cms/your-video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>
</div>

I think you can do almost everything with them. Will test tonight few things and come back.

You can also show an image so not to connect to their services and only if the visitor clicks on the image to load the video.

@Yabber - yes, it would be great but hosting videos in 4k is not up to every host plan capabilities.
