The Videos in PrestaShop Product Gallery module allows the integration of YouTube and Vimeo videos directly into the product gallery. This enables customers to better understand product features and functionality by viewing instructions, reviews, or promotional materials alongside images. Videos are displayed responsively, ensuring proper functionality across various devices.

Key Features

Support for YouTube and Vimeo formats: The module supports popular link formats, including watch, embed, shorts, and youtu.be for YouTube, as well as standard Vimeo links.
Automatic thumbnail generation: Video thumbnails are automatically fetched and displayed in the product gallery, aiding in their identification.
Integration with product gallery: Videos are embedded alongside images, allowing for cohesive browsing of visual materials.
Video management in back office: Adding, removing, and reordering videos is done without page refresh, and drag-and-drop sorting is intuitive.
Multi-language support: Video descriptions can be added in various languages, which is beneficial for international stores.

How It Works

After installing the module, a video management section appears in the product edit page. Simply paste the YouTube or Vimeo video link, optionally add a description, and save changes. Videos will appear in the product gallery alongside images, and their order can be adjusted to suit presentation needs.

Technical Requirements

The module works with PrestaShop from version 1.7.8 and with versions 8.x and 9.x. It requires PHP version 7.1 to 8.4 and the ionCube Loader extension. The module's source code is partially open, allowing for modifications in terms of integration and appearance.
