# Video With Palo Alto's video section, you can create affluent, modern, video-based promotional sections to enhance and showcase your brand, products, and services.

Looping MP4 or MOV video in the Video section

### Flexible The video section can loop **MP4** or **MOV** format videos from your Shopify content library. Videos can also appear with a pop-up player, ideal for longer video content. Palo Alto presents a clean branded experience for shoppers, including options to add separate poster images for desktop and mobile devices. These images will load first while your video is loading into the browser and then be replaced by the video content. Adding videos to your store is perfect for creating attractive promotions. You can easily incorporate them into any page of your store. ### YouTube and Vimeo YouTube and Vimeo videos can only be displayed as **Popup** videos. Shopify can't control the ads and linked videos that YouTube or Vimeo display in the video, resulting in a very unprofessional background section. If you need to use a YouTube or Vimeo video, we have a couple of recommendations: * To use as a background video, download the YouTube or Vimeo video and convert it to MP4 or MOV format. Then, you can simply add it to your Shopify library. * In the Popup section, you can add the YouTube or Vimeo URL for a Popup video. To represent the video, use a branded image or a still frame from the video. ### Customize Use the section settings to configure all the options for the video section. * To **loop** an MP4 or MOV video, select a supported video from your content library into the video option. * To use the optional **popup** feature, check the toggle option and select a video from your content library or a **YouTube/Vimeo** link address. In the section settings, lower down, find, and adjust the button style and colors to modify the play icon. * In the image section, add a branded image or still frame image for desktop and mobile options. These images will be used while your video is loading into the browser. The mobile version is optional but recommended with a taller portrait-style image. For desktop, we recommend a **16:9** aspect ratio image, and for mobile, an **18:9** or **19:9** aspect ratio image. * Under Layout, use the desktop and mobile height options to find the right size for the **video** and poster **image**. Desktop and mobile controls are available. * For a banner-style image, choose the full-width option or add padding when using it to promote a page that incorporates padding on the sides. * Add any optional text content with the heading and text settings. You can adjust the size for each of them. * You can configure a call-to-action **button** or use the button settings to customize the popup play button style. Two buttons can be displayed. ### Settings Watch this walkthrough video to learn how the settings and features work, including the popup and looping background video: {% embed url="" %}
