Beskrivelse
Limeboom Product Video Gallery lets you show a product video inside the WooCommerce gallery — the natural place customers already look.
How it works: you pick a video URL and a poster image per product. The poster is written into the product’s real gallery data, right after the featured image, so it shows up in any theme — including themes with fully custom gallery sliders. A play button appears on the poster; clicking it swaps the image for the video player, inline: a YouTube player, or an HTML5 player for video files.
Free features:
- Unlimited products with video
- YouTube links (watch, youtu.be, Shorts and embed URLs), played inline with the privacy-friendly youtube-nocookie.com player
- Direct video file URLs (MP4, WebM, OGG, MOV — format detected automatically)
- Click-to-play with a clean play button overlay
- Poster becomes a genuine gallery item — theme-independent by design
- Autoplay, muted, loop, and controls settings
- Adjustable play button overlay sizes
- Opt-in clean uninstall

External services
This plugin can load a YouTube video player when a product uses a YouTube link. That is the only external service it uses.
- What it is and what it is used for: YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com), Google’s video service, hosts the video and its player.
- What is sent, and when: nothing is loaded when the page opens. Only after a visitor clicks the play button, the visitor’s browser loads the player from youtube-nocookie.com, which receives the visitor’s IP address and browser information, as with any embedded video.
- Terms and privacy: YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
Products that use a direct video file load nothing from outside your own site.

Installation
- Install through the WordPress plugin screen, or upload the folder to
/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
- Edit a product, open Product data General, enable the product video, paste a video URL, and choose a poster image.
- Update the product. The poster appears as the second image in the gallery with a play button.
- Optional: adjust playback behavior under WooCommerce Product Video Gallery.
FAQ
-
Does it work with my theme?
-
Yes. Instead of hooking into theme-specific gallery rendering, the poster image is written into the product’s actual gallery data — the same field every theme reads from. Tested with Storefront, Astra, and Flatsome, including themes with custom gallery sliders.
-
Which video sources are supported?
-
YouTube links (watch, youtu.be, Shorts and embed URLs) and direct file URLs: MP4, M4V, WebM, OGG/OGV, and MOV. The correct MIME type is detected from the file extension. Vimeo is supported in the Pro version.
-
Do I need a poster image for a YouTube video?
-
Yes. Choose a poster image in the product editor; it becomes the gallery thumbnail and the play button sits on top of it. The Pro version can fetch the poster from the video’s own thumbnail automatically.
-
What happens to my data if I delete the plugin?
-
Nothing, by default. Your video URLs and poster selections are kept, so reinstalling (or upgrading to Pro) picks them right back up. If you want a clean removal, enable “Remove all plugin data” in the settings before deleting.
-
Where does the video poster appear?
-
Right after the product’s featured image — the second image customers see in the gallery.
