Hello!
Yes, here is the add-on - YouTube Video Gallery. It also allows to create video gallery, separate page with videos, filter product with videos, place video as the main image.
You can insert embed video code to the tab with HTML block. One block can have different content for different products. Additional modules are not required in this case
I know this is an old topic.. but can anyone who has installed the add-on tell me how their installation went please? I am not sure if my cs-cart website will be compatible but asking anyhow as it's something I would like to do for 2021.
I am on Etsy as well and they have recently added video to each product page and I want my websites to also have a video option as it helps to make people comfortable about buying paper which has metallic and glitter.
thanks

I just added a new Tab under the Design > Products Tab menu. I added a new HTML w/smarty Block to the tab. The block contents look like this:
{$product.product}
All I had to do was to rename all videos to the same format using the "product code" like this: 33363-video1.mp4 or 46853-video1.mp4 (where the 5 digits are the product code (in my case). And then place the videos in a /video/ directory. I chose to append "-video1" at the end of the file name so I could add more than one video using a different tab and block.
Disable the tab globally, and then enable it per each product that has video. You can manually add the product ID to the database table "product_tabs" to speed up enabling the tab on products that have video. I just paste them into the table in bulk.
Also, "video video-container" is my own CSS class for responsive video.
Ohh this makes soooo much work :D

Upload to youtube, use youtube code to paste in product description page, this is it..

:grin: It may seem like a lot of work, but I was adding 3500 videos to 3500 products. I didn't want to use YouTube, I wanted to host them myself, and uploading 3500 videos to YouTube would take forever to do one at a time...
Most of the videos already had the naming scheme of "product ID"+video1.mp4 - and as I was able to use the vendor's product ID in my CS-Cart store there were only about 500 that needed renamed.
Fetching the videos via FTP from the vendor took time and transferring the videos to my own server via FTP took time, but I could do those jobs in batches overnight.
And instead of editing the product description, the tab (with block) adds the video to the product - you just have to add the part number to to the appropriate database table- which is also, a copy and paste job to do it in bulk.

You should go to Layouts tab on the Product details page and specify unique content for html block there
