Do you want to use a video in the product image slider? Which can. For this you have to do a few things.

Active? Go to step 3.

7) Paste this URL into Data 03.

Another option to get the correct link for the video is as follows:
1) Copy the URL of the video from the address bar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzv1Y-NUiG0)
2) Change the URL of the video by replacing the part after the .com "/ watch? V =" with "/ embed /"
