What is JW Player?

Step-by-Step Guide to Embedding JW Player Videos

Step 1: Install EmbedAny on Your Shopify Store

First, you need to install the EmbedAny app on your Shopify store:

  1. Visit the EmbedAny app page on the Shopify App Store
  2. Click “Add app” and follow the installation prompts
  3. Once installed, make sure the app is activated

To embed a JW Player video, you’ll need its share link:

  1. Go to your JW Player dashboard
  2. Find the video you want to embed
  3. Click the “Share” button
  4. Copy the shareable link provided

Now that you have your JW Player video link, you can add it to any editable text area in your Shopify store:

  1. Navigate to where you want to add the video (product description, page, blog post, etc.)
  2. Paste the JW Player link into the text editor
  3. Important: Make the link italic by selecting it and clicking the italic button (or using keyboard shortcut Ctrl+I / Cmd+I)
  4. Save your changes

That’s it! EmbedAny will automatically convert your italic JW Player link into an interactive embedded video.

Where to Use JW Player Videos in Your Shopify Store

  • Product descriptions: Show your products in action
  • Blog posts: Enhance your content with relevant videos

Example

If your JW Player link looks like this:

https://cdn.jwplayer.com/players/ABCDEF12-xxxxYYYY.html

Simply paste it into your text editor, make it italic, and it will transform into an interactive JW Player video directly on your page.
