YouTube or Vimeo videos can be added to both the main product image gallery and product variation media.
Click on the 'Add online video' button and paste your video URL:
Instead of YouTube/Vimeo, you can add a video hosted in your Sirv account. Just add it like you'd add an image or spin.
Add a featured product image hosted on Sirv
If your product images are stored only on Sirv and not in WordPress, you might find it tricky to add featured images. To solve this problem, you can use the 'Featured image from URL' plugin to add Sirv media as your featured product image. It'll look like this:
Sirv media without syncing your WordPress media library
It's possible to deliver WooCommerce product imagery from your WordPress server and Sirv content from Sirv, without syncing your WordPress media library to Sirv. Your WordPress images won't be zoomable or served in next-gen formats or delivered optimised by Sirv CDN but it will reduce your Sirv storage.
To do that, choose these settings in the Sirv plugin:
- Serve WordPress media: Disable
- Sirv Media Viewer: Enable
